NAME         top

       ldap_modrdn, ldap_modrdn_s, ldap_modrdn2, ldap_modrdn2_s -
       Perform an LDAP modify RDN operation

LIBRARY         top

       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_modrdn(ld, dn, newrdn)
       LDAP ∗ld;
       char ∗dn, ∗newrdn;

       int ldap_modrdn_s(ld, dn, newrdn)
       LDAP ∗ld;
       char ∗dn, ∗newrdn;

       int ldap_modrdn2(ld, dn, newrdn, deleteoldrdn)
       LDAP ∗ld;
       char ∗dn, ∗newrdn;
       int deleteoldrdn;

       int ldap_modrdn2_s(ld, dn, newrdn, deleteoldrdn)
       LDAP ∗ld;
       char ∗dn, ∗newrdn;
       int deleteoldrdn;

DESCRIPTION         top

       The ldap_modrdn() and ldap_modrdn_s() routines perform an LDAP
       modify RDN operation.  They both take dn, the DN of the entry
       whose RDN is to be changed, and newrdn, the new RDN to give the
       entry.  The old RDN of the entry is never kept as an attribute of
       the entry.  ldap_modrdn() is asynchronous, returning the message
       id of the operation it initiates.  ldap_modrdn_s() is
       synchronous, returning the LDAP error code indicating the success
       or failure of the operation.  Use of these routines is
       deprecated.  Use the versions described below instead.

       The ldap_modrdn2() and ldap_modrdn2_s() routines also perform an
       LDAP modify RDN operation, taking the same parameters as above.
       In addition, they both take the deleteoldrdn parameter which is
       used as a boolean value to indicate whether the old RDN values
       should be deleted from the entry or not.

ERRORS         top

       The synchronous (_s) versions of these routines return an LDAP
       error code, either LDAP_SUCCESS or an error if there was trouble.
       The asynchronous versions return -1 in case of trouble, setting
       the ld_errno field of ld.  See ldap_error(3) for more details.
