LDAP *ld,
char *dn,
LDAPControl **serverctrls,

DESCRIPTION
The
ldap_delete_s() function is used to perform an LDAP delete
operation synchronously. It takes
dn, the DN of the entry to be
deleted. It returns an LDAP error code, indicating the success or
failure of the operation.
The
ldap_delete() function is used to perform an LDAP delete
operation asynchronously. It takes the same parameters as
ldap_delete_s(), but returns the message id of the request it
initiated. The result of the delete can be obtained by a subsequent
call to
ldap_result(3LDAP).
The
ldap_delete_ext() function initiates an asynchronous delete
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_delete_ext() places the
message 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_delete_ext_s() function initiates a synchronous delete
operation and as such returns the result of the operation itself.
ERRORS
ldap_delete_s() returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted
by calling one of
ldap_perror(3LDAP) functions.
ldap_delete() returns
-1 if something went wrong initiating the request. It returns the
non-negative message id of the request if things were successful.
