.SH DESCRIPTION
The
-.B ldap_extended_operation_s
-method is used to synchronously send an extended operation to the server.
-It takes \fIrequestoid\fP, which points to a dotted OID text string identifying
-the extended operation to perform. \fIrequestdata\fP is the data required for the
-operation, \fIseverctrls\fP is an array of LDAPControl structures to use with this
-extended operation,\fIclientctrls\fP is an array of LDAPControl structures that list
-the client controls to use with this extended operation .The input parameter
-\fIretoidp\fP points to a dotted-OID text string returned by the LDAP server.
-The memory used by the string should be freed with the ldap_memfree function.
-retdatap is an output parameter which points to a pointer to a berval structure
-that contains the returned data. If no data is returned, the server set this
-to NULL. The memory used by this structure should be freed with the ber_bvfree
+.B ldap_extended_operation_s()
+routine is used to synchronously perform an LDAP extended operation.
+It takes \fIrequestoid\fP, which points to a dotted-decimal OID string
+identifying the extended operation to perform. \fIrequestdata\fP is the
+data required for the request, \fIsctrls\fP is an array of LDAPControl
+structures to use with this extended operation, \fIcctrls\fP is an array
+of LDAPControl structures that list the client controls to use with
+this extended operation.
+.LP
+The output parameter \fIretoidp\fP points to a dotted-decimal OID
+string returned by the LDAP server. The memory used by the string
+should be freed with the
+.BR ldap_memfree (3)
+function.
+The output parameter \fIretdatap\fP points to a pointer to a berval
+structure that contains the returned data. If no data is returned
+by the server, the pointer is set this to NULL. The memory used by
+this structure should be freed with the
+.BR ber_bvfree (3)
function.
.LP
The
-.B ldap_extended_operation
-works just like ldap_extended_operation_s, but the operation is asynchornous.
-It returns the message id of the request it initiated.
+.B ldap_extended_operation()
+works just like
+.BR ldap_extended_operation_s() ,
+but the operation is asynchronous. It provides the message id of
+the request it initiated in the integer pointed to be \fImsgidp\fP.
The result of this operation can be obtained by calling
.BR ldap_result(3).
-.SH NOTES
-The LDAP server must support the operation; otherwise an
-LDAP_NOT_SUPPORTED error is returned.
