SYNOPSIS
cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ]
#include <lber.h>
#include <ldap.h>
LDAP *cldap_open(char *host, int port);
PARAMETERS
host
The name of the host on which the LDAP server is running.
port
The port number to connect.
DESCRIPTION
The cldap_open() function is called to prepare for connectionless LDAP
communication (over udp(7P)). It allocates an LDAP structure which is
passed to future search requests.
If the default IANA-assigned port of 389 is desired, LDAP_PORT should
be specified for port. host can contain a space-separated list of hosts
or addresses to try. cldap_open() returns a pointer to an LDAP struc‐
ture, which should be passed to subsequent calls to
cldap_search_s(3LDAP), cldap_setretryinfo(3LDAP), and
cldap_close(3LDAP). Certain fields in the LDAP structure can be set to
indicate size limit, time limit, and how aliases are handled during
operations. See ldap_open(3LDAP) and <ldap.h> for more details.
ERRORS
If an error occurs, cldap_open() will return NULL and errno will be
set appropriately.
