ldap_err2stringW function (winldap.h)
The ldap_err2string function converts a numeric LDAP error code into a null-terminated character string that describes the error.
Syntax
WINLDAPAPI PWCHAR LDAPAPI ldap_err2stringW(
[in] ULONG err
);
Parameters
[in] err
An LDAP error code as returned by another LDAP function.
Return value
If the function succeeds, a pointer to a null-terminated character string that describes the error, is returned.
If the function fails, a pointer to NULL is returned.
Remarks
Call ldap_err2string to convert any numeric LDAP error code into an informative, null-terminated character string message that describes the error. Be aware that some of the asynchronous calls return -1. In this case, use LdapGetLastError to retrieve the LDAP error code, and then use ldap_err2string on that value.
The return value is a static pointer to the character string. Do not free this string.
Note
The winldap.h header defines ldap_err2string 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.
