NAME

       ldap_parse_sort_control  -  Decode  the  information returned from a search operation that
       used a server-side sort control

LIBRARY

       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_parse_sort_control(ld, ctrls, returnCode, attribute)
       LDAP *ld;
       LDAPControl **ctrls;
       unsigned long *returnCode;
       char **attribute;

DESCRIPTION

       This function is used to parse the results returned in a  search  operation  that  uses  a
       server-side sort control.

       It  takes  a null terminated array of LDAPControl structures usually obtained by a call to
       the ldap_parse_result function. A returncode which  points  to  the  sort  control  result
       code,and  an array of LDAPControl structures that list the client controls to use with the
       search.  The function also takes an out parameter attribute  and  if  the  sort  operation
       fails,  the  server  may return a string that indicates the first attribute in the sortKey
       list that caused the failure. If this parameter is NULL,  no  string  is  returned.  If  a
       string is returned, the memory should be freed by calling the ldap_memfree function.
