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, indicating the success or failure of the
operation.
The ldap_delete(3) 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).
The ldap_delete_ext() routine allows server and client controls to
be specified to extend the delete request. This routine is asynchronous
like ldap_delete(), but its return value is an LDAP error code. It
stores the message id of the request in the integer pointed to by
msgidp.
The ldap_delete_ext_s() routine is the synchronous version of
ldap_delete_ext(). It also returns an LDAP error code indicating suc-
cess or failure of the operation.
ERRORS
ldap_delete_s() returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by
calling one of ldap_delete(3) returns -1 if
something went wrong initiating the request. It returns the non-nega-
tive message id of the request if things went ok.
ldap_delete_ext() and ldap_delete_ext_s() return some Non-zero value if
something went wrong initiating the request, else return 0.
