Other LDAP Functions (Windows CE 5.0)
The following table shows additional LDAP functions with a description of the purpose of each.
| Programming element | Description |
|---|---|
| ber_alloc_t | This function allocates and constructs a new BerElement structure. |
| ber_bvdup | This function creates a copy of the supplied berval structure. |
| ber_bvecfree | This function frees an array of berval structures. |
| ber_bvfree | This function frees a berval structure. |
| ber_first_element | This function is used to begin the traversal of a SET, SET OF, SEQUENCE, or SEQUENCE OF data values stored in the supplied BerElement structure. It returns the tag and length of the first element. |
| ber_flatten | This function allocates a new berval structure containing the data taken from the supplied BerElement structure. |
| ber_free | This function frees a BerElement structure that was previously allocated with a call to the ber_alloc_t or ber_init function. |
| ber_init | This function allocates a new BerElement structure containing the data taken from the supplied berval structure. |
| ber_next_element | This function is used along with the ber_first_element function to traverse a SET, SET OF, SEQUENCE, or SEQUENCE OF data values stored in the supplied BerElement structure. It returns the tag and length of the next element in the constructed type. |
| ber_peek_tag | This function returns the tag of the next element to be parsed in the supplied BerElement structure. |
| ber_printf | This function is used to encode a basic encoding rules (BER) element in much the same way that sprintf works. One important difference, though, is that state information is kept in the pBerElement argument so that multiple calls can be made to ber_printf to append to the end of the BER element. The pBerElement argument passed to this function must be a pointer to a BerElement structure returned by a call to the ber_alloc_t function. |
| ber_scanf | This function is used to decode a basic encoding rules (BER) element in much the same way that sscanf works. One important difference, though, is that some state information is kept with the pBerElement argument so that multiple calls can be made to ber_scanf to sequentially read from the BER element. The pBerElement argument should be a pointer to a BerElement structure returned by a call to the ber_init function. |
| ber_skip_tag | This function skips the current tag and returns the tag of the next element in the supplied BerElement structure. |
| ldap_dn2ufn | This function converts a distinguished name to a user-friendly format. |
| ldap_explode_dn | This function converts a distinguished name to a user-friendly format. |
| ldap_get_dn | This function retrieves the distinguished name for a given entry. |
| ldap_ufn2dn | This function converts a user-friendly name to a distinguished name. |
| LdapUnicodeToUTF8 | This function converts Unicode strings to UTF-8. |
| LdapUTF8ToUnicode | This function translates strings for modules that do not have the UTF-8 code page. |
