NAME

       ldap_modrdn, ldap_modrdn_s, ldap_modrdn2, ldap_modrdn2_s - Perform an LDAP modify RDN operation

LIBRARY

       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_modrdn(ld, dn, newrdn)
       LDAP ∗ld;
       char ∗dn, ∗newrdn;

       int ldap_modrdn_s(ld, dn, newrdn)
       LDAP ∗ld;
       char ∗dn, ∗newrdn;

       int ldap_modrdn2(ld, dn, newrdn, deleteoldrdn)
       LDAP ∗ld;
       char ∗dn, ∗newrdn;
       int deleteoldrdn;

       int ldap_modrdn2_s(ld, dn, newrdn, deleteoldrdn)
       LDAP ∗ld;
       char ∗dn, ∗newrdn;
       int deleteoldrdn;

DESCRIPTION

       The  ldap_modrdn() and ldap_modrdn_s() routines perform an LDAP modify RDN operation.  They both take dn,
       the DN of the entry whose RDN is to be changed, and newrdn, the new RDN to give the entry.  The  old  RDN
       of  the  entry  is never kept as an attribute of the entry.  ldap_modrdn() is asynchronous, returning the
       message id of the operation it initiates.  ldap_modrdn_s() is synchronous, returning the LDAP error  code
       indicating  the  success  or  failure  of  the  operation.  Use of these routines is deprecated.  Use the
       versions described below instead.

       The ldap_modrdn2() and ldap_modrdn2_s() routines also perform an LDAP modify RDN  operation,  taking  the
       same  parameters  as  above.   In  addition, they both take the deleteoldrdn parameter which is used as a
       boolean value to indicate whether the old RDN values should be deleted from the entry or not.

ERRORS

       The synchronous (_s) versions of these routines return an LDAP error  code,  either  LDAP_SUCCESS  or  an
       error if there was trouble.  The asynchronous versions return -1 in case of trouble, setting the ld_errno
       field of ld.  See ldap_error(3) for more details.
