33 The ldap_extended_operation_s() routine is used to synchronously per‐
34 form an LDAP extended operation. It takes requestoid, which points to
35 a dotted-decimal OID string identifying the extended operation to per‐
36 form. requestdata is the data required for the request, sctrls is an
37 array of LDAPControl structures to use with this extended operation,
38 cctrls is an array of LDAPControl structures that list the client con‐
39 trols to use with this extended operation.
40
41 The output parameter retoidp points to a dotted-decimal OID string
42 returned by the LDAP server. The memory used by the string should be
43 freed with the ldap_memfree(3) function. The output parameter retdatap
44 points to a pointer to a berval structure that contains the returned
45 data. If no data is returned by the server, the pointer is set this to
46 NULL. The memory used by this structure should be freed with the
47 ber_bvfree(3) function.
48
49 The ldap_extended_operation() works just like ldap_extended_opera‐
50 tion_s(), but the operation is asynchronous. It provides the message
51 id of the request it initiated in the integer pointed to be msgidp.
52 The result of this operation can be obtained by calling ldap_result(3).
