LDAP_RENAME(3)             Library Functions Manual             LDAP_RENAME(3)

NAME
       ldap_rename, ldap_rename_s - Renames the specified entry.

LIBRARY
       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_rename( ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, sctrls[], cctrls[], msgidp );
       LDAP *ld;
       const char *dn, *newrdn, *newparent;
       int deleteoldrdn;
       LDAPControl *sctrls[], *cctrls[];
       int *msgidp);

       int ldap_rename_s( ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, sctrls[], cctrls[] );
       LDAP *ld;
       const char *dn, *newrdn, *newparent;
       int deleteoldrdn;
       LDAPControl *sctrls[], *cctrls[];

DESCRIPTION
       These  routines are used to perform a LDAP rename operation.  The func-
       tion changes the leaf component of an entry's  distinguished  name  and
       optionally moves the entry to a new parent container. The ldap_rename_s
       performs a rename operation synchronously.  The method takes dn,  which
       points  to the distinguished name of the entry whose attribute is being
       compared, newparent,the distinguished name of the entry's  new  parent.
       If  this  parameter  is  NULL, only the RDN is changed.  The root DN is
       specified by passing a zero length string, "".  deleteoldrdn  specifies
       whether the old RDN should be retained or deleted.  Zero indicates that
       the old RDN should be retained. If you choose this option,  the  attri-
       bute will contain both names (the old and the new).  Non-zero indicates
       that the old RDN should be deleted.  serverctrls points to an array  of
       LDAPControl  structures  that list the client controls to use with this
       extended operation. Use NULL to specify no client controls. clientctrls
       points  to an array of LDAPControl structures that list the client con-
       trols to use with the search.

       ldap_rename works just like ldap_rename_s, but the operation  is  asyn-
       chronous.  It  returns  the message id of the request it initiated. The
       result of this operation can be obtained by calling ldap_result(3).

ERRORS
       ldap_rename() returns -1 in case of error initiating the  request,  and
       will  set the ld_errno field in the ld parameter to indicate the error.
       ldap_rename_s() returns the LDAP error code resulting from  the  rename
       operation.
