DESCRIPTION
       These routines are used to  parse  schema  definitions  in  the	syntax
       defined	in RFC 2252 into structs and handle these structs.  These rou‐
       tines handle four  kinds	 of  definitions:  syntaxes,  matching	rules,
       attribute types and objectclasses.  For each definition kind, four rou‐
       tines are provided.

       ldap_str2xxx() takes a definition in RFC 2252 format in argument s as a
       NUL-terminated  string  and  returns, if possible, a pointer to a newly
       allocated struct of the appropriate kind.  The  caller  is  responsible
       for  freeing  the struct by calling ldap_xxx_free() when not needed any
       longer.	The routine returns NULL if some problem  happened.   In  this
       case,  the  integer  pointed  at by argument code will receive an error
       code (see below the description of ldap_scherr2str() for an explanation
       of  the values) and a pointer to a NUL-terminated string will be placed
       where requested by argument errp , indicating where in argument	s  the
       error  happened, so it must not be freed by the caller.	Argument flags
       is a bit mask of parsing options controlling the relaxation of the syn‐
       tax recognized.	The following values are defined:

       LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_NONE
	      strict parsing according to RFC 2252.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_NO_OID
	      permit definitions that do not contain an initial OID.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_QUOTED
	      permit quotes around some items that should not have them.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_DESCR
	      permit a descr instead of a numeric OID in places where the syn‐
	      tax expect the latter.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_DESCR_PREFIX
	      permit that the initial numeric OID contains a prefix  in	 descr
	      format.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_ALL
	      be very liberal, include all options.

       The structures returned are as follows:

	      typedef struct ldap_schema_extension_item {
		      char *lsei_name;	      /* Extension name */
		      char **lsei_values;     /* Extension values */
	      } LDAPSchemaExtensionItem;

	      typedef struct ldap_syntax {
		      char *syn_oid;	      /* OID */
		      char **syn_names;	      /* Names */
		      char *syn_desc;	      /* Description */
		      LDAPSchemaExtensionItem **syn_extensions; /* Extension */
	      } LDAPSyntax;

	      typedef struct ldap_matchingrule {
		      char *mr_oid;	      /* OID */
		      char **mr_names;	      /* Names */
		      char *mr_desc;	      /* Description */
		      int  mr_obsolete;	      /* Is obsolete? */
		      char *mr_syntax_oid;    /* Syntax of asserted values */
		      LDAPSchemaExtensionItem **mr_extensions; /* Extensions */
	      } LDAPMatchingRule;

	      typedef struct ldap_attributetype {
		      char *at_oid;	      /* OID */
		      char **at_names;	      /* Names */
		      char *at_desc;	      /* Description */
		      int  at_obsolete;	      /* Is obsolete? */
		      char *at_sup_oid;	      /* OID of superior type */
		      char *at_equality_oid;  /* OID of equality matching rule */
		      char *at_ordering_oid;  /* OID of ordering matching rule */
		      char *at_substr_oid;    /* OID of substrings matching rule */
		      char *at_syntax_oid;    /* OID of syntax of values */
		      int  at_syntax_len;     /* Suggested minimum maximum length */
		      int  at_single_value;   /* Is single-valued?  */
		      int  at_collective;     /* Is collective? */
		      int  at_no_user_mod;    /* Are changes forbidden through LDAP? */
		      int  at_usage;	      /* Usage, see below */
		      LDAPSchemaExtensionItem **at_extensions; /* Extensions */
	      } LDAPAttributeType;

	      typedef struct ldap_objectclass {
		      char *oc_oid;	      /* OID */
		      char **oc_names;	      /* Names */
		      char *oc_desc;	      /* Description */
		      int  oc_obsolete;	      /* Is obsolete? */
		      char **oc_sup_oids;     /* OIDs of superior classes */
		      int  oc_kind;	      /* Kind, see below */
		      char **oc_at_oids_must; /* OIDs of required attribute types */
		      char **oc_at_oids_may;  /* OIDs of optional attribute types */
		      LDAPSchemaExtensionItem **oc_extensions; /* Extensions */
	      } LDAPObjectClass;

       Some integer fields (those described with a question mark) have a truth
       value, for these fields the possible values are:

       LDAP_SCHEMA_NO
	      The answer to the question is no.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_YES
	      The answer to the question is yes.

       For attribute types, the following usages are possible:

       LDAP_SCHEMA_USER_APPLICATIONS
	      the attribute type is non-operational.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_DIRECTORY_OPERATION
	      the attribute type is operational and is pertinent to the direc‐
	      tory itself, i.e. it has the same value on all servers that mas‐
	      ter the entry containing this attribute type.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_DISTRIBUTED_OPERATION
	      the attribute type is operational and is pertinent  to  replica‐
	      tion, shadowing or other distributed directory aspect.  TBC.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_DSA_OPERATION
	      the attribute type is operational and is pertinent to the direc‐
	      tory server itself, i.e. it may have different  values  for  the
	      same entry when retrieved from different servers that master the
	      entry.

       Object classes can be of three kinds:

       LDAP_SCHEMA_ABSTRACT
	      the object class is abstract, i.e. there cannot  be  entries  of
	      this class alone.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_STRUCTURAL
	      the  object class is structural, i.e. it describes the main role
	      of the entry.  On some servers, once the entry  is  created  the
	      set  of  structural  object  classes assigned cannot be changed:
	      none of those present can be  removed  and  none	other  can  be
	      added.

       LDAP_SCHEMA_AUXILIARY
	      the  object  class  is auxiliary, i.e. it is intended to go with
	      other, structural,  object  classes.   These  can	 be  added  or
	      removed  at  any time if attribute types are added or removed at
	      the same time as needed by the set of object  classes  resulting
	      from the operation.

       Routines ldap_xxx2name() return a canonical name for the definition.

       Routines	 ldap_xxx2str()	 return	 a string representation in the format
       described by RFC 2252 of the struct passed in the argument.  The string
       is  a  newly  allocated string that must be freed by the caller.	 These
       routines may return NULL if no memory can be allocated for the string.

       ldap_scherr2str() returns a NUL-terminated string with a text  descrip‐
       tion  of	 the  error  found.  This is a pointer to a static area, so it
       must not be freed by the caller.	 The argument code comes from  one  of
       the parsing routines and can adopt the following values:

       LDAP_SCHERR_OUTOFMEM
	      Out of memory.

       LDAP_SCHERR_UNEXPTOKEN
	      Unexpected token.

       LDAP_SCHERR_NOLEFTPAREN
	      Missing opening parenthesis.

       LDAP_SCHERR_NORIGHTPAREN
	      Missing closing parenthesis.

       LDAP_SCHERR_NODIGIT
	      Expecting digit.

       LDAP_SCHERR_BADNAME
	      Expecting a name.

       LDAP_SCHERR_BADDESC
	      Bad description.

       LDAP_SCHERR_BADSUP
	      Bad superiors.

       LDAP_SCHERR_DUPOPT
	      Duplicate option.

       LDAP_SCHERR_EMPTY
	      Unexpected end of data.
