#include
#include
LDAP *cldap_open(char *host, int port);
PARAMETERS
host The name of the host on which the LDAP server is running. port The port number to connect.DESCRIPTION
The cldap_open() function is called to prepare for connec-
tionless LDAP communication (over udp(7P)). It allocates an LDAP structure which is passed to future search requests.If the default IANA-assigned port of 389 is desired,
LDAP_PORT should be specified for port. host can contain a
space-separated list of hosts or addresses to try.
cldap_open() returns a pointer to an LDAP structure, which
should be passed to subsequent calls tocldap_search_s(3LDAP), cldap_setretryinfo(3LDAP), and
cldap_close(3LDAP). Certain fields in the LDAP structure can
be set to indicate size limit, time limit, and how aliasesare handled during operations. See ldap_open(3LDAP) and
for more details. ERRORS
If an error occurs, cldap_open() will return NULL and
errno will be set appropriately.ATTRIBUTES
