SYNOPSIS
#include <ldap.h>
int ldap_rename( ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, sctrls[], cctrls[], msgidp );
LDAP *ld;
const char *dn, *newrdn, *newparent;
int deleteoldrdn;
LDAPControl *sctrls[], *cctrls[];
int *msgidp);
int ldap_rename_s( ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, sctrls[], cctrls[] );
LDAP *ld;
const char *dn, *newrdn, *newparent;
int deleteoldrdn;
LDAPControl *sctrls[], *cctrls[];
DESCRIPTION
These routines are used to perform a LDAP rename operation. The func‐
tion changes the leaf component of an entry's distinguished name and
optionally moves the entry to a new parent container. The ldap_rename_s
performs a rename operation synchronously. The method takes dn, which
points to the distinguished name of the entry whose attribute is being
compared, newparent,the distinguished name of the entry's new parent.
If this parameter is NULL, only the RDN is changed. The root DN is
specified by passing a zero length string, "". deleteoldrdn specifies
whether the old RDN should be retained or deleted. Zero indicates that
the old RDN should be retained. If you choose this option, the
attribute will contain both names (the old and the new). Non-zero
indicates that the old RDN should be deleted. serverctrls points to an
array of LDAPControl structures that list the client controls to use
with this extended operation. Use NULL to specify no client controls.
clientctrls points to an array of LDAPControl structures that list the
client controls to use with the search.
ldap_rename works just like ldap_rename_s, but the operation 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(3).
ERRORSldap_rename() 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_rename_s() returns the LDAP error code resulting from the rename
operation.
