LDAP_ABANDON(3)

NAME
ldap_abandon, ldap_abandon_ext - Abandon an LDAP operation in progress

LIBRARY
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS
#include <ldap.h>

int ldap_abandon(LDAP *ld, int msgid);

int ldap_abandon_ext(LDAP *ld, int msgid,
    LDAPControl *sctrls[], LDAPControl *cctrls[]);

DESCRIPTION
The ldap_abandon() routine is used to abandon or cancel an LDAP operation in progress. The msgid passed should be the message id of an outstanding LDAP operation, as returned by ldap_search(3), ldap_modify(3), etc.

ldap_abandon() checks to see if the result of the operation has already come in. If it has, it deletes it from the queue of pending messages. If not, it sends an LDAP abandon operation to the the LDAP server.

The caller can expect that the result of an abandoned operation will not be returned from a future call to ldap_result(3).

ldap_abandon_ext() is equivalent to ldap_abandon() except that it allows server and client controls to be passed in sctrls and cctrls, respectively.

ERRORS
ldap_abandon() returns 0 if everything goes ok, -1 otherwise, setting ld_errno with an appropriate LDAP error code.

ldap_abandon_ext() directly returns an LDAP error code indicating success or failure of the operation.

See ldap_error(3) for details.
