ldap_parse_vlv_controlA function (winldap.h)
The ldap_parse_vlv_control function is used to find and parse VLV search results.
Syntax
WINLDAPAPI INT LDAPAPI ldap_parse_vlv_controlA(
[in] PLDAP ExternalHandle,
[in] PLDAPControlA *Control,
[out] PULONG TargetPos,
[out] PULONG ListCount,
[out] PBERVAL *Context,
[out] PINT ErrCode
);
Parameters
[in] ExternalHandle
The LDAP session handle.
[in] Control
The address of a NULL-terminated array of LDAPControl structures, typically obtained by a call to ldap_parse_result.
[out] TargetPos
The numeric position of the target entry in the result set list, as provided by the targetPosition element of the BER-encoded response control (LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE). If this parameter is NULL, the target position is not returned.
[out] ListCount
The server estimate of the number of entries in the list as provided by the contentCount element of the BER-encoded response control (LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE). If this parameter is NULL, the size is not returned.
[out] Context
The server-generated context identifier. If the server does not return a context identifier, this parameter will be set to NULL. If NULL is passed for contextp, the context identifier is not returned.
[out] ErrCode
The VLV result code, as provided by the virtualListViewResult element of the BER-encoded response control (LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE). If this parameter is NULL, the result code is not returned.
Return value
This function returns an LDAP error code that indicates whether a VLV result control was found and parsed successfully. LDAP_SUCCESS is returned if all goes well, LDAP_CONTROL_MISSING is returned if the ctrls array does not include a response control (LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE), and another LDAP error code is returned if a parsing error or other issue occurs.
VLV uses the following LDAP return value codes:
LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR
LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM
LDAP_INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS
LDAP_BUSY
LDAP_TIMELIMIT_EXCEEDED
LDAP_ADMINLIMIT_EXCEEDED
LDAP_OTHER
In addition, the following two codes have been added to support VLV:
Remarks
This control parses the search results returned by the server in the response control (LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE). A context identifier is passed from the server to the client to identify the control, which must be freed at the end of the session by calling ber_bvfree.

Note
The winldap.h header defines ldap_parse_vlv_control as an alias which 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 not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
