ldap_get_lang_values(3LDAP) LDAP Library Functions ldap_get_lang_values(3LDAP)NAME
ldap_get_lang_values, ldap_get_lang_values_len - return an attribute's
values that matches a specified language subtype
SYNOPSIS
cc -flag ... file ...-lldap [-library ...]
#include <ldap.h>
char **ldap_get_lang_values(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *entry, const char
*target, char **type);
struct berval **ldap_get_lang_values_len(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *entry,
const char *target, char **type);
DESCRIPTION
The ldap_get_lang_values() function returns an array of an attribute's
string values that matches a specified language subtype. To retrieve
the binary data from an attribute, call the ldap_get_lang_values_len()
function instead.
ldap_get_lang_values() should be called to retrieve a null-terminated
array of an attribute's string values that match a specified language
subtype. The entry parameter is the entry retrieved from the directory.
The target parameter should contain the attribute type the values that
are required, including the optional language subtype. The type param‐
eter points to a buffer that returns the attribute type retrieved by
this function. Unlike the ldap_get_values() function, if a language
subtype is specified, this function first attempts to find and return
values that match that subtype, for example, cn;lang-en.
ldap_get_lang_values_len() returns a null-terminated array of pointers
to berval structures, each containing the length and pointer to a
binary value of an attribute for a given entry. The entry parameter is
the result returned by ldap_result() or ldap_search_s() functions. The
target parameter is the attribute returned by the call to
ldap_first_attribute() or ldap_next_attribute(), or the attribute as a
literal string, such as jpegPhoto or audio.
These functions are deprecated. Use ldap_get_values() or ldap_get_val‐
ues_len() instead.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, ldap_get_lang_values() returns a null-terminated array
of the attribute's values. If the call is unsuccessful, or if no such
attribute exists in the entry, it returns a NULL and sets the appropri‐
ate error code in the LDAP structure.
The ldap_get_lang_values_len() function returns a null-terminated array
of pointers to berval structures, which in turn, if successful, contain
pointers to the attribute's binary values. If the call is unsuccess‐
ful, or if no such attribute exists in the entry, it returns a NULL and
sets the appropriate error code in the LDAP structure.
