ldap_result (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

This function obtains the result of an asynchronous operation.

Syntax

ULONG ldap_result(
  LDAP* ld,
  ULONG msgid,
  ULONG all,
  LDAP_TIMEVAL* timeout,
  LDAPMessage** res
);

Parameters

  • ld
    [in] Session handle.
  • msgid
    [in] Message identifier of the operation, or the constant LDAP_RES_ANY if any result is desired.
  • all
    [in] Specifies how many messages will be retrieved in a single call to this function. This parameter only has meaning for search results. Pass the constant LDAP_MSG_ONE (0x00) to retrieve one message at a time. Pass LDAP_MSG_ALL (0x01) to request that all results of a search be received before returning all results in a single chain. Pass LDAP_MSG_RECEIVED (0x02) to indicate that all results retrieved so far should be returned in the result chain.
  • timeout
    [out] A time-out specifying how long to wait (in seconds) for results to be returned. A NULL value causes this function to block until results are available. A time-out value of 0 seconds specifies a polling behavior.
  • res
    [out] Contains the results of the operation.

Return Value

If this function succeeds, it returns one a value to indicate the type of the first result in the res parameter. The following table shows the possible return values.

Return value

LDAP_RES_ADD

LDAP_RES_BIND

LDAP_RES_COMPARE

LDAP_RES_DELETE

LDAP_RES_EXTENDED

LDAP_RES_MODDN

LDAP_RES_MODIFY

LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ENTRY

LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE

LDAP_RES_SEARCH_RESULT

If the time-out expires, this function returns 0.

If this function fails, it returns -1 and sets the session error parameters in the LDAP data structure.

Remarks

This function retrieves the result of a previous, asynchronously initiated operation.

Note

Depending on the way it is called, this function may actually return a list or "chain" of messages.

For connectionless LDAP, you must pass both an LDAP connection handle and a message identifier to ensure that you get the correct results. The LDAP run time continues to send the request until it receives a response.

In a multithreading environment, calls to this function are thread-safe.
