9 cldap_open \- LDAP connectionless communication preparation
13 cc[ \fIflag\fR... ] \fIfile\fR... -lldap[ \fIlibrary\fR... ]
17 \fBLDAP *\fR\fBcldap_open\fR(\fBchar\fR \fI*host\fR, \fBint\fR \fIport\fR);
27 The name of the host on which the LDAP server is running.
36 The port number to connect.
42 The \fBcldap_open()\fR function is called to prepare for connectionless LDAP
43 communication (over \fBudp\fR(7P)). It allocates an LDAP structure which is
44 passed to future search requests.
47 If the default IANA-assigned port of 389 is desired, \fBLDAP_PORT\fR should be
48 specified for \fIport\fR. \fIhost\fR can contain a space-separated list of
49 hosts or addresses to try. \fBcldap_open()\fR returns a pointer to an LDAP
50 structure, which should be passed to subsequent calls to
51 \fBcldap_search_s\fR(3LDAP), \fBcldap_setretryinfo\fR(3LDAP), and
52 \fBcldap_close\fR(3LDAP). Certain fields in the LDAP structure can be set to
53 indicate size limit, time limit, and how aliases are handled during operations.
54 See \fBldap_open\fR(3LDAP) and \fB<ldap.h>\fR for more details.
58 If an error occurs, \fBcldap_open()\fR will return \fINULL\fR and \fBerrno\fR
59 will be set appropriately.
