Synopsis
cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ]
#include <lber.h>
#include <ldap.h>
LDAP *cldap_open(char *host, int port);
Parameters
- host
- The name of the host on which the LDAP server is running.
- port
- The port number to connect.
Description
The cldap_open() function is called to prepare for connectionless LDAP communication (over udp(7P) ). It allocates an LDAP structure which is passed to future search requests.
If the default IANA-assigned port of 389 is desired, LDAP_PORT should
be specified for port.
host can contain a space-separated list of hosts or addresses to try.
cldap_open() returns a pointer to an LDAP structure, which should be
passed to subsequent calls to cldap_search_s(3LDAP)
, cldap_setretryinfo(3LDAP)
,
and cldap_close(3LDAP)
. Certain fields in the LDAP structure
can be set to indicate size limit, time limit, and how aliases are
handled during operations. See ldap_open(3LDAP)
and <ldap.h> for more
details.
Errors
If an error occurs, cldap_open() will return NULL and errno will be set appropriately.
