ldap_delete(3ldap)


ldap_delete, ldap_delete_s -- LDAP delete operations

Synopsis

#include <lber.h> 
#include <ldap.h> 

int ldap_delete_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn);

int ldap_delete(LDAP *ld, char *dn);

Description

The ldap_delete_s routine is used to perform an LDAP delete operation synchronously. It takes dn, the DN of the entry to be deleted. It returns an LDAP error code, indicating the success or failure of the operation.

The ldap_delete routine is used to perform an LDAP delete operation asynchronously. It takes the same parameters as ldap_delete_s, but returns the message ID of the request it initiated. The result of the delete can be obtained by a subsequent call to ldap_result(3ldap).

Return values

ldap_delete_s returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by calling one of the functions documented on the ldap_perror(3ldap) manual page. ldap_delete returns -1 if initiating the request produced an error. On success, it returns the non-negative message ID of the request.
