NAME

       ldap_abandon_ext - Abandon an LDAP operation in progress

LIBRARY

       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  ldap_abandon_ext() routine is used to send a LDAP Abandon request for an operation in
       progress.  The msgid passed should be the message id of  an  outstanding  LDAP  operation,
       such as returned by ldap_search_ext(3).

       ldap_abandon_ext()  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 request to 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() allows server and client controls to be passed in via  the  sctrls  and
       cctrls parameters, respectively.

       ldap_abandon_ext()  returns  a  code  indicating  success  or, in the case of failure, the
       nature of the failure.  See ldap_error(3) for details.

DEPRECATED INTERFACES

       The ldap_abandon() routine is deprecated in favor of the ldap_abandon_ext() routine.

       Deprecated interfaces generally remain in the library.  The macro LDAP_DEPRECATED  can  be
       defined to a non-zero value (e.g., -DLDAP_DEPRECATED=1) when compiling program designed to
       use deprecated interfaces.  It is recommended that developers  writing  new  programs,  or
       updating old programs, avoid use of deprecated interfaces.  Over time, it is expected that
       documentation (and, eventually, support) for deprecated interfaces to be eliminated.
