ldap_compare(3LDAP)	    LDAP Library Functions	   ldap_compare(3LDAP)

NAME
       ldap_compare,  ldap_compare_s,  ldap_compare_ext,  ldap_compare_ext_s -
       LDAP compare operation

SYNOPSIS
       cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ]

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

       int ldap_compare(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr, char *value);

       int ldap_compare_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr, char *value);

       int ldap_compare_ext(LDAP *ld, char  *dn,  char	*attr,	struct	berval
       *bvalue,	 LDAPControl  **serverctrls,  LDAPControl  **clientctrls,  int
       *msgidp);

       int ldap_compare_ext_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char	*attr,	struct	berval
       *bvalue, LDAPControl **serverctrls, LDAPControl **clientctrls);

DESCRIPTION
       The ldap_compare_s() function is used to perform an LDAP compare opera‐
       tion synchronously.  It takes dn, the DN of the	entry  upon  which  to
       perform	the  compare, and attr and value, the attribute type and value
       to compare to those found in the entry.	It returns an LDAP error code,
       which  will  be	 LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE if the entry contains the attribute
       value and LDAP_COMPARE_FALSE if it does	not.   Otherwise,  some	 error
       code is returned.

       The  ldap_compare()  function is used to perform an LDAP compare opera‐
       tion asynchronously.  It takes the same parameters as ldap_compare_s(),
       but  returns the message id of the request it initiated.	 The result of
       the compare can be obtained by a subsequent call to ldap_result(3LDAP).

       The  ldap_compare_ext()	function  initiates  an	 asynchronous  compare
       operation  and  returns	 LDAP_SUCCESS  if the request was successfully
       sent to the server, or else it returns a LDAP error code	 if  not  (see
       ldap_error(3LDAP).  If  successful,  ldap_compare_ext() places the mes‐
       sage  id	 of  the  request  in	 *msgidp.   A	subsequent   call   to
       ldap_result(), can be used to obtain the result of the add request.

       The   ldap_compare_ext_s()  function  initiates	a  synchronous compare
       operation and as such returns the result of the operation itself.

ERRORS
       ldap_compare_s() returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by
       calling one of ldap_perror(3LDAP) and friends.	ldap_compare() returns
       −1 if something went wrong initiating the request.  It returns the non-
       negative message id of the request if it was successful.
