NAME

       ldap_parse_reference  - Extract referrals and controls from a reference
       message


LIBRARY

       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)


SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_parse_reference( LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *reference,
            char ***referralsp, LDAPControl ***serverctrlsp,
            int freeit )


DESCRIPTION

       The ldap_parse_reference() routine is used  to  extract  referrals  and
       controls from a reference message.  The reference parameter is a refer-
       ence  message  as  returned  by  a  call  to   ldap_first_reference(3),
       ldap_next_reference(3), ldap_first_message(3), ldap_next_message(3), or
       ldap_result(3).

       The referralsp parameter will be filled in with an allocated  array  of
       character strings. The strings are copies of the referrals contained in
       the  parsed  message.  The   array   should   be   freed   by   calling
       ldap_value_free(3).   If referralsp is NULL, no referrals are returned.
       If no referrals were returned, *referralsp is set to NULL.

       The serverctrlsp parameter will be filled in with an allocated array of
       controls  copied  from the parsed message. The array should be freed by
       calling ldap_controls_free(3).  If serverctrlsp is  NULL,  no  controls
       are  returned.   If  no controls were returned, *serverctrlsp is set to
       NULL.

       The freeit parameter determines whether the parsed message is freed  or
       not after the extraction. Any non-zero value will make it free the mes-
       sage. The ldap_msgfree(3) routine can also be used to free the  message
       later.


ERRORS

       Upon  success  LDAP_SUCCESS  is  returned.  Otherwise the values of the
       referralsp and serverctrlsp parameters are undefined.
