NAME
     ldap_first_message, ldap_count_messages,  ldap_next_message,
     ldap_msgtype - LDAP message processing functions

SYNOPSIS
     cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ]
     #include 
     #include 

     int ldap_count_messages(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *res);


     LDAPMessage *ldap_first_message(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *res);


     LDAPMessage *ldap_next_message(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *msg);


     int ldap_msgtype(LDAPMessage *res);


DESCRIPTION
     ldap_count_messages() is used to count the  number  of  mes-
     sages  that  remain  in  a chain of results if called with a
     message,     entry,     or     reference     returned     by
     ldap_first_message(),                   ldap_next_message(),
     ldap_first_entry(),                       ldap_next_entry(),
     ldap_first_reference(), and  ldap_next_reference()


     ldap_first_message() and   ldap_next_message() functions are
     used  to step through the list of messages in a result chain
     returned by  ldap_result().


     ldap_msgtype() function returns the type of an LDAP message.

RETURN VALUES
     ldap_first_message() and  ldap_next_message() return   LDAP-
     Message  which can include referral messages, entry messages
     and result messages.


     ldap_count_messages() returns the number  of  messages  con-
     tained in a chain of results.

ERRORS
     ldap_first_message() and  ldap_next_message()  return   NULL
     when  no  more  messages exist.  NULL is also returned if an
     error occurs while  stepping through the entries,  in  which
     case  the error parameters in the session handle  ld will be
     set to indicate the error.
