ldap_parse_vlv_control(3)





NAME

       ldap_parse_vlv_control  - Decode the information returned from a search
       operation that used a VLV (virtual list view) control


LIBRARY

       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)


SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_parse_vlv_control( ld, ctrlp, target_posp, list_countp, contextp, errcodep )
       LDAP *ld;
       LDAPControl **ctrlp;
       unsigned long *target_posp, *list_countp;
       struct berval **contextp;
       int *errcodep;


DESCRIPTION

       The ldap_parse_vlv_control is used to decode the  information  returned
       from  a search operation that used a VLV (virtual list view)control. It
       takes a  null  terminated  array  of  LDAPControl  structures,  usually
       obtained by a call to the ldap_parse_resultfunction, a target_pos which
       points to the list index of the target  entry.  If  this  parameter  is
       NULL,  the  target  position  is not returned. The index returned is an
       approximation of the position of the target entry. It is not guaranteed
       to  be exact. The parameter list_countp points to the server's estimate
       of the size of the list. If this parameter is NULL,  the  size  is  not
       returned.  contextp  is  a pointer to the address of a berval structure
       that contains a server-generated context identifier if  server  returns
       one. If server does not return a context identifier, the server returns
       a NULL in this parameter. If this parameter is set to NULL, the context
       identifier is not returned. You should use this returned context in the
       next call to create a VLV control. When  the  berval  structure  is  no
       longer  needed,  you  should  free the memory by calling the ber_bvfree
       function.e errcodep is an output parameter, which points to the  result
       code returned by the server. If this parameter is NULL, the result code
       is not returned.

       See ldap.h for a list of possible return codes.
