LDAP_DELETE(3)             Library Functions Manual             LDAP_DELETE(3)

NAME
       ldap_delete,  ldap_delete_s,  ldap_delete_ext, ldap_delete_ext_s - Per-
       form an LDAP delete operation.

LIBRARY
       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_delete_s(ld, dn)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn;

       int ldap_delete(ld, dn)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn;

       int ldap_delete_ext(ld, dn, serverctrls, clientctrls, msgidp)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn;
       LDAPControl **serverctrls, **clientctrls;
       int *msgidp;

       int ldap_delete_ext_s(ld, dn, serverctrls, clientctrls)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn;
       LDAPControl **serverctrls, **clientctrls;

DESCRIPTION
       The ldap_delete_s() routine is used to perform an LDAP delete operation
       synchronously.  It takes dn, the DN of the entry to be deleted.  It re-
       turns an LDAP error code, indicating the success or failure of the  op-
       eration.

       The  ldap_delete()  routine 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(3).

       The ldap_delete_ext() routine  allows  server  and client  controls  to
       be specified to extend the delete request. This routine is asynchronous
       like ldap_delete(), but its return value is  an  LDAP  error  code.  It
       stores  the  message id of the request in the integer pointed to by ms-
       gidp.

       The  ldap_delete_ext_s()  routine  is  the   synchronous   version   of
       ldap_delete_ext().   It also returns an LDAP error code indicating suc-
       cess or failure of the operation.

ERRORS
       ldap_delete_s() returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted  by
       calling one of ldap_perror(3) and friends.  ldap_delete() returns -1 if
       something went wrong initiating the request. It returns  the  non-nega-
       tive message id of the request if things went ok.

       ldap_delete_ext() and ldap_delete_ext_s() return some Non-zero value if
       something  went wrong initiating the request, else return 0.
