ldap_add, ldap_add_s, ldap_add_ext, ldap_add_ext_s - Per-
form an LDAP add operation
LIBRARY
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)
SYNOPSIS
#include <ldap.h>
int ldap_add(LDAP *ld, const char *dn, LDAPMOD *attrs[]);
int ldap_add_s(LDAP *ld, const char *dn, LDAPMod *attrs[]);
int ldap_add_ext(LDAP *ld, const char *dn, LDAPMOD *attrs[],
LDAPControl *sctrls[], LDAPControl *cctrls[], int *msgidp);
int ldap_add_ext_s(LDAP *ld, const char *dn, LDAPMOD *attrs[],
LDAPControl *sctrls[], LDAPControl *cctrls[]);
DESCRIPTION
The ldap_add_s() routine is used to perform an LDAP add
operation. It takes dn, the DN of the entry to add, and
attrs, a null-terminated array of the entry's attributes.
The LDAPMod structure is used to represent attributes,
with the mod_type and mod_values fields being used as
described under ldap_modify(3), and the ldap_op field
being used only if you need to specify the LDAP_MOD_BVAL-
UES option. Otherwise, it should be set to zero.
Note that all entries except that specified by the last
component in the given DN must already exist.
ldap_add_s() returns an LDAP error code indicating success
or failure of the operation. See ldap_error(3) for more
details.
The ldap_add() routine works just like ldap_add_s(), but
it is asynchronous. It returns the message id of the
request it initiated. The result of this operation can be
obtained by calling ldap_result(3).
The ldap_add_ext() routine allows server and client con-
trols to be specified to extend the add request. This rou-
tine is asynchronous like ldap_add(), but its return value
is an LDAP error code. It stores the message id of the
request in the integer pointed to by msgidp.
The ldap_add_ext_s() routine is the synchronous version of
ldap_add_ext(). It also returns an LDAP error code indi-
cating success or failure of the operation.
ERRORSldap_add() returns -1 in case of error initiating the
request, and will set the ld_errno field in the ld parame-
ter to indicate the error. ldap_add_s() will return an
LDAP error code directly (LDAP_SUCCESS if everything went
ok, some error otherwise). ldap_add_ext() and
ldap_add_ext_s() also directly return LDAP error codes.
