LIBRARY         top

       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_rename( ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, sctrls[], cctrls[], msgidp );
       LDAP *ld;
       const char *dn, *newrdn, *newparent;
       int deleteoldrdn;
       LDAPControl *sctrls[], *cctrls[];
       int *msgidp);

       int ldap_rename_s( ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, sctrls[], cctrls[] );
       LDAP *ld;
       const char *dn, *newrdn, *newparent;
       int deleteoldrdn;
       LDAPControl *sctrls[], *cctrls[];

DESCRIPTION         top

       These routines are used to perform a LDAP rename operation.  The
       function changes the leaf component of an entry's distinguished
       name and  optionally moves the entry to a new parent container.
       The ldap_rename_s performs a rename operation synchronously.  The
       method takes dn, which points to the distinguished name of the
       entry whose attribute is being compared, newparent,the
       distinguished name of the entry's new parent. If this parameter
       is NULL, only the RDN is changed.  The root DN is specified by
       passing a zero length string, "".  deleteoldrdn specifies whether
       the old RDN should be retained or deleted.  Zero indicates that
       the old RDN should be retained. If you choose this option, the
       attribute will contain both names (the old and the new).  Non-
       zero indicates that the old RDN should be deleted.  serverctrls
       points to an array of LDAPControl structures that list the client
       controls to use with this extended operation. Use NULL to specify
       no client controls. clientctrls points to an array of LDAPControl
       structures that list the client controls to use with the search.

       ldap_rename works just like ldap_rename_s, but the operation is
       asynchronous. It returns the message id of the request it
       initiated. The result of this operation can be obtained by
       calling ldap_result(3).

ERRORS         top

       ldap_rename() returns -1 in case of error initiating the request,
       and will set the ld_errno field in the ld parameter to indicate
       the error.  ldap_rename_s() returns the LDAP error code resulting
       from the rename operation.
