LDAP_DELETE(3)         C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS         LDAP_DELETE(3)

NAME

     ldap_delete, ldap_delete_s - Perform an LDAP  delete  opera-
     tion

LIBRARY

     OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <ldap.h>

     int ldap_delete_s(ld, dn)
     LDAP *ld;
     char *dn;

     int ldap_delete(ld, dn)
     LDAP *ld;
     char *dn;

DESCRIPTION

     The ldap_delete_s() routine  is  used  to  perform  an  LDAP
     delete  operation synchronously.  It takes dn, the DN of the
     entry to be deleted.  It returns an LDAP error  code,  indi-
     cating the success or failure of the operation.

     The ldap_delete() routine is used to perform an LDAP  delete
     operation  asynchronously.   It takes the same parameters as
     ldap_delete_s(), but returns the message id of  the  request
     it initiated.  The result of the delete can be obtained by a
     subsequent call to ldap_result(3).

ERRORS

     ldap_delete_s() returns an LDAP  error  code  which  can  be
     interpreted  by  calling  one of ldap_perror(3) and friends.
     ldap_delete() returns -1 if something went wrong  initiating
     the  request.  It returns the non-negative message id of the
     request if things went ok.
