ldap_err2string function

Applies to: desktop apps only

The ldap_err2string function converts a numeric LDAP error code into a null-terminated character string that describes the error.

Syntax

PCHAR ldap_err2string(
  __in  ULONG err
);

Parameters

err [in]

An LDAP error code as returned by another LDAP function.

Return value

If the function succeeds, a pointer to a null-terminated character string that describes the error, is returned.

If the function fails, a pointer to NULL is returned.

Remarks

Call ldap_err2string to convert any numeric LDAP error code into an informative, null-terminated character string message that describes the error. Be aware that some of the asynchronous calls return -1. In this case, use LdapGetLastError to retrieve the LDAP error code, and then use ldap_err2string on that value.

The return value is a static pointer to the character string. Do not free this string.
