DESCRIPTION
The
ldap_modrdn() and
ldap_modrdn_s() functions perform an LDAP modify
RDN (Relative Distinguished Name) operation. They both take
dn, the DN
(Distinguished Name) of the entry whose RDN is to be changed, and
newrdn,
the new RDN, to give the entry. The old RDN of the entry is never kept as
an attribute of the entry.
ldap_modrdn() is asynchronous. It return the
message id of the operation it initiates.
ldap_modrdn_s() is synchronous.
It returns the LDAP error code that indicates the success or failure of
the operation.
The
ldap_modrdn2() and
ldap_modrdn2_s() functions also perform an LDAP
modify RDN operation. They take the same parameters as above. In
addition, they both take the
deleteoldrdn parameter ,which is used as a
boolean value to indicate whether or not the old RDN values should be
deleted from the entry.
The
ldap_rename(),
ldap_rename_s() routines are used to change the name,
that is, the RDN of an entry. These routines deprecate the
ldap_modrdn() and
ldap_modrdn_s() routines, as well as
ldap_modrdn2() and
ldap_modrdn2_s().
The
ldap_rename() and
ldap_rename_s() functions both support LDAPv3
server controls and client controls.
ERRORS
The synchronous (
_s) versions of these functions return an LDAP error
code, either
LDAP_SUCCESS or an error. See
ldap_error(3LDAP).
The asynchronous versions return
-1 in the event of an error, setting
the
ld_errno field of
ld. See
ldap_error(3LDAP) for more details. Use
ldap_result(3LDAP) to determine a particular unsuccessful result.
