int ldap_delete(
LDAP *ld,

int ldap_delete_ext(
LDAP *ld,
char *dn,
LDAPControl **serverctrls,

DESCRIPTION
The
ldap_delete_s() function is used to perform an LDAP delete operation
synchronously. It takes
dn, the DN of the entry to be deleted. It
returns an LDAP error code, indicating the success or failure of the
operation.
The
ldap_delete() function is used to perform an LDAP delete operation
asynchronously. It takes the same parameters as
ldap_delete_s(), but
returns the message id of the request it initiated. The result of the
delete can be obtained by a subsequent call to
ldap_result(3LDAP).
The
ldap_delete_ext() function initiates an asynchronous delete
operation and returns
LDAP_SUCCESS if the request was successfully sent
to the server, or else it returns a LDAP error code if not (see
ldap_error(3LDAP)). If successful,
ldap_delete_ext() places the message
id of the request in
*msgidp. A subsequent call to
ldap_result(), can be
used to obtain the result of the add request.
The
ldap_delete_ext_s() function initiates a synchronous delete
operation and as such returns the result of the operation itself.
ERRORS
ldap_delete_s() returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by
calling one of
ldap_perror(3LDAP) functions.
ldap_delete() returns
-1 if
something went wrong initiating the request. It returns the non-negative
message id of the request if things were successful.
