The following table shows the LDAP directory entry functions with a description of the purpose of each.
| Programming element | Description |
|---|---|
| ldap_add | This function initiates an asynchronous add operation to a tree. For an add operation to succeed, the parent of the entry being added must already exist or the parent must be empty (equal to the distinguished name of the root). |
| ldap_add_ext | This function initiates an asynchronous add operation to a tree. The parent of the entry being added must already exist or the parent must be empty (equal to the distinguished name of the root) for an add operation to succeed. |
| ldap_add_ext_s | This function initiates a synchronous add operation to a tree. For an add operation to succeed, the parent of the entry being added must already exist or the parent must be empty (equal to the distinguished name of the root). |
| ldap_add_s | This function initiates a synchronous add operation that adds an entry to a tree. The parent of the entry being added must already exist or the parent must be empty (equal to the root distinguished name) for an add operation to succeed. |
| ldap_close_extended_op | This function ends a request that was made by a call to the ldap_extended_operation function. |
| ldap_compare | This function determines whether an attribute for a given entry holds a known value. |
| ldap_compare_ext | This function determines whether an attribute for a given entry holds a known value. |
| ldap_compare_ext_s | This function determines whether an attribute for a given entry holds a known value. |
| ldap_compare_s | This function determines whether an attribute for a given entry holds a known value. |
| ldap_delete | This function deletes an entry from the directory tree. |
| ldap_delete_ext | This function is an extended routine that removes a leaf entry from the directory tree. |
| ldap_delete_ext_s | This function is an extended routine that performs a synchronous operation to remove a leaf entry from the directory tree. |
| ldap_delete_s | This function is a synchronous operation that removes a leaf entry from the directory tree. |
| ldap_extended_operation | This function allows you to pass extended LDAP operations to the server. |
| ldap_modify | This function changes an existing entry. |
| ldap_modify_ext | This function changes an existing entry. |
| ldap_modify_ext_s | This function changes an existing entry. |
| ldap_modify_s | This function changes an existing entry. |
| ldap_rename_ext | This function starts an asynchronous operation that changes the distinguished name of an entry in the directory. This function is available beginning with LDAP 3. |
| ldap_rename_ext_s | This function is a synchronous operation that changes the distinguished name of an entry in the directory. This function is available beginning with LDAP 3. |
