SYNOPSIS

#include <lber.h>
#include <ldap.h>
intldap_add(LDAP *ld, char *dn, LDAPMod *attrs[]);
intldap_add_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn, LDAPMod *attrs[]);
int ldap_add_ext(LDAP *ld, char *dn, LDAPMod **attrs, LDAPControl
**serverctrls, int * msgidp);
int ldap_add_ext_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn, LDAPMod **attrs, LDAPControl
**serverctrls, LDAPControl **clientctrls);
DESCRIPTION
The ldap_add_s() function is used to perform an LDAP add operation. It
takes dn, the DN of the entry to add, and attrs, a null-terminated
array of the entry's attributes. The LDAPMod structure is used to rep‐
resent attributes, with the mod_type and mod_values fields being used
as described under ldap_modify(3LDAP), and the ldap_op field being used
only if you need to specify the LDAP_MOD_BVALUES option. Otherwise, it
should be set to zero.
Note that all entries except that specified by the last component in
the given DN must already exist. ldap_add_s() returns an LDAP error
code indicating success or failure of the operation. See
ldap_error(3LDAP) for more details.
The ldap_add() function works just like ldap_add_s(), but it is asyn‐
chronous. It returns the message id of the request it initiated. The
result of this operation can be obtained by calling ldap_result(3LDAP).
The ldap_add_ext() function initiates an asynchronous add 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_add_ext() places the message
id of *msgidp. A subsequent call to ldap_result(), can be used to
obtain the result of the add request.
The ldap_add_ext_s() function initiates a synchronous add operation
and returns the result of the operation itself.
ERRORSldap_add() returns −1 in case of error initiating the request, and
will set the ld_errno field in the ld parameter to indicate the error.
ldap_add_s() will return an LDAP error code directly.
