NAME
       ldap_parse_sort_control - Decode the information returned from a search
       operation that used a server-side sort control

LIBRARY
       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_parse_sort_control(ld, ctrls, returnCode, attribute)
       LDAP *ld;
       LDAPControl **ctrls;
       unsigned long *returnCode;
       char **attribute;

DESCRIPTION
       This function is used to parse the results returned in a search  opera-
       tion that uses a server-side sort control.

       It  takes a null terminated array of LDAPControl structures usually ob-
       tained by a call to the ldap_parse_result function. A returncode  which
       points  to  the  sort  control  result code,and an array of LDAPControl
       structures that list the client controls to use with the  search.   The
       function  also  takes an out parameter attribute and if the sort opera-
       tion fails, the server may return a string that indicates the first at-
       tribute  in the sortKey list that caused the failure. If this parameter
       is NULL, no string is returned. If a string  is  returned,  the  memory
       should be freed by calling the ldap_memfree function.
