15       int ldap_parse_vlv_control( ld, ctrlp, target_posp, list_countp, contextp, errcodep )
16       LDAP *ld;
17       LDAPControl **ctrlp;

DESCRIPTION

23       The ldap_parse_vlv_control is used to decode the  information  returned
24       from  a search operation that used a VLV (virtual list view)control. It
25       takes a null terminated array of LDAPControl  structures,  usually  ob‐
26       tained  by  a call to the ldap_parse_resultfunction, a target_pos which
27       points to the list index of the target  entry.  If  this  parameter  is
28       NULL, the target position is not returned. The index returned is an ap‐
29       proximation of the position of the target entry. It is  not  guaranteed
30       to  be exact. The parameter list_countp points to the server's estimate
31       of the size of the list. If this parameter is NULL, the size is not re‐
32       turned. contextp is a pointer to the address of a berval structure that
33       contains a server-generated context identifier if server  returns  one.
34       If  server  does  not return a context identifier, the server returns a
35       NULL in this parameter. If this parameter is set to NULL,  the  context
36       identifier is not returned. You should use this returned context in the
37       next call to create a VLV control. When  the  berval  structure  is  no
38       longer  needed,  you  should  free the memory by calling the ber_bvfree
39       function.e errcodep is an output parameter, which points to the  result
40       code returned by the server. If this parameter is NULL, the result code
41       is not returned.

43       See ldap.h for a list of possible return codes.
