19 1.1 lukem .SH DESCRIPTION
20 1.1 lukem .LP
21 1.1 lukem The
22 1.1 lukem .B ldap_parse_reference()
23 1.1 lukem routine is used to extract referrals and controls from a reference message.
24 1.1 lukem The \fIreference\fP parameter is a reference message as returned by a
25 1.1 lukem call to
26 1.1 lukem .BR ldap_first_reference (3) ,
27 1.1 lukem .BR ldap_next_reference (3) ,
28 1.1 lukem .BR ldap_first_message (3) ,
29 1.1 lukem .BR ldap_next_message (3) ,
30 1.1 lukem or
31 1.1 lukem .BR ldap_result (3) .
32 1.1 lukem .LP
33 1.1 lukem The \fIreferralsp\fP parameter will be filled in with an allocated array of
34 1.1 lukem character strings. The strings are copies of the referrals contained in
35 1.1 lukem the parsed message. The array should be freed by calling
36 1.1 lukem .BR ldap_value_free (3) .
37 1.1 lukem If \fIreferralsp\fP is NULL, no referrals are returned.
38 1.1 lukem If no referrals were returned, \fI*referralsp\fP is set to NULL.
39 1.1 lukem .LP
40 1.1 lukem The \fIserverctrlsp\fP parameter will be filled in with an allocated array of
41 1.1 lukem controls copied from the parsed message. The array should be freed by calling
42 1.1 lukem .BR ldap_controls_free (3).
43 1.1 lukem If \fIserverctrlsp\fP is NULL, no controls are returned.
44 1.1 lukem If no controls were returned, \fI*serverctrlsp\fP is set to NULL.
45 1.1 lukem .LP
46 1.1 lukem The \fIfreeit\fP parameter determines whether the parsed message is
47 1.1 lukem freed or not after the extraction. Any non-zero value will make it
48 1.1 lukem free the message. The
49 1.1 lukem .BR ldap_msgfree (3)
50 1.1 lukem routine can also be used to free the message later.
51 1.1 lukem .SH ERRORS
52 1.1 lukem Upon success LDAP_SUCCESS is returned. Otherwise the values of the
53 1.1 lukem \fIreferralsp\fP and \fIserverctrlsp\fP parameters are undefined.
