DESCRIPTION
The
ldap_add_s() function 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(3LDAP), and the
ldap_op field
being used only if you need to specify the
LDAP_MOD_BVALUES 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(3LDAP) for more details.
The
ldap_add() function 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(3LDAP).
The
ldap_add_ext() function initiates an asynchronous add 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_add_ext() places the message id of *msgidp. A subsequent call to
ldap_result(), can be used to
obtain the result of the add request.
The
ldap_add_ext_s() function initiates a synchronous add operation
and returns the result of the operation itself.
ERRORS
ldap_add() returns
-1 in case of error initiating the request, and
will set the
ld_errno field in the
ld parameter to indicate the
error.
ldap_add_s() will return an LDAP error code directly.
