ldap_delete_extW function (winldap.h)
The ldap_delete_ext function is an extended routine that removes a leaf entry from the directory tree.
Syntax
WINLDAPAPI ULONG LDAPAPI ldap_delete_extW(
[in] LDAP *ld,
[in] const PWSTR dn,
[in] PLDAPControlW *ServerControls,
[in] PLDAPControlW *ClientControls,
[out] ULONG *MessageNumber
);
Parameters
[in] ld
The session handle.
[in] dn
A pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the distinguished name of the entry to delete.
[in] ServerControls
Optional. List of LDAP server controls. If not used, set this parameter to NULL.
[in] ClientControls
Optional. List of client controls. If not used, set this parameter to NULL.
[out] MessageNumber
Message ID for the request.
Return value
If the function succeeds, LDAP_SUCCESS is returned.
If the function fails, an error code is returned. For more information, see Return Values.
Remarks
The ldap_delete_ext function removes a leaf entry from the directory tree. LDAP does not support deletion of entire subtrees in a single operation, however there is an extended control, LDAP_SERVER_TREE_DELETE_OID, used to perform this operation.
The parameters and effects of ldap_delete_ext include those of ldap_delete. The extended routine includes parameters to support client and server controls and thread safety.
If the operation succeeds, ldap_delete_ext passes the message ID to the caller as a parameter when the operation returns successfully. To get the result of the operation, call ldap_result with the message ID.
To have the function return the results directly, use the synchronous routine ldap_delete_ext_s.
Multithreading: Calls to ldap_delete_ext are thread-safe.
Note
The winldap.h header defines ldap_delete_ext as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
