cldap_open(3LDAP) LDAP Library Functions cldap_open(3LDAP)NAMEcldap_open - LDAP connectionless communication preparation
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 run‐
ning.
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_setretry‐
info(3LDAP), and cldap_close(3LDAP). Certain fields in the LDAP struc‐
ture 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.
