LDAP_COMPARE(3LDAP)					   LDAP_COMPARE(3LDAP)

NAME
       ldap_compare,  ldap_compare_s,  ldap_compare_ext,  ldap_compare_ext_s -
       LDAP compare operation

SYNOPSIS
       cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ]
       #include <lber.h>
       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_compare(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr, char *value);

       int ldap_compare_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr, char *value);

       int ldap_compare_ext(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr,
	    struct berval *bvalue, LDAPControl **serverctrls,
	    LDAPControl **clientctrls,int *msgidp);

       int ldap_compare_ext_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr,
	    struct berval *bvalue, LDAPControl **serverctrls,
	    LDAPControl **clientctrls);

DESCRIPTION
       The ldap_compare_s() function is used to perform an LDAP compare opera‐
       tion  synchronously.   It  takes	 dn, the DN of the entry upon which to
       perform the compare, and attr and value, the attribute type  and	 value
       to compare to those found in the entry.	It returns an LDAP error code,
       which will be  LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE if the entry  contains	the  attribute
       value  and  LDAP_COMPARE_FALSE  if  it does not.	 Otherwise, some error
       code is returned.

       The ldap_compare() function is used to perform an LDAP  compare	opera‐
       tion asynchronously.  It takes the same parameters as ldap_compare_s(),
       but returns the message id of the request it initiated.	The result  of
       the compare can be obtained by a subsequent call to ldap_result(3LDAP).

       The   ldap_compare_ext()	 function  initiates  an  asynchronous compare
       operation and returns  LDAP_SUCCESS if  the  request  was  successfully
       sent  to	 the  server, or else it returns a LDAP error code if not (see
       ldap_error(3LDAP). If successful,  ldap_compare_ext() places  the  mes‐
       sage id of the request in  *msgidp. A subsequent call to ldap_result(),
       can be used to obtain the result of the add request.

       The  ldap_compare_ext_s()  function  initiates  a  synchronous  compare
       operation and as such returns the result of the operation itself.

ERRORS
       ldap_compare_s() returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by
       calling one of ldap_perror(3LDAP) and friends.	ldap_compare() returns
       −1 if something went wrong initiating the request.  It returns the non-
       negative message id of the request if it was successful.
