NAME
       ldap_first_entry,  ldap_next_entry,  ldap_count_entries	- LDAP result
       entry parsing and counting routines

LIBRARY
       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_count_entries( LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *result )

       LDAPMessage *ldap_first_entry( LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *result )

       LDAPMessage *ldap_next_entry( LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *entry )

DESCRIPTION
       These routines are used to parse results received from  ldap_result(3)
       or the synchronous LDAP search operation routines ldap_search_s(3) and
       ldap_search_st(3).

       The ldap_first_entry() routine is used to retrieve the first entry  in
       a  chain of search results.  It takes the result as returned by a call
       to ldap_result(3) or ldap_search_s(3) or ldap_search_st(3) and returns
       a pointer to the first entry in the result.

       This   pointer	should	 be   supplied	 on   a	 subsequent  call  to
       ldap_next_entry() to get the next entry, the result of which should be
       supplied	   to	 the	next	call   to   ldap_next_entry(),	 etc.
       ldap_next_entry() will return NULL when there  are  no  more  entries.
       The  entries  returned  from these calls are used in calls to the rou-
       tines   described    in	  ldap_get_dn(3),    ldap_first_attribute(3),
       ldap_get_values(3), etc.

       A  count of the number of entries in the search result can be obtained
       by calling ldap_count_entries().

ERRORS
       If an error occurs in ldap_first_entry() or ldap_next_entry(), NULL is
       returned and the ld_errno field in the ld parameter is set to indicate
       the  error.   If	 an  error  occurs  in	ldap_count_entries(),  -1  is
       returned,  and ld_errno is set appropriately.  See ldap_error(3) for a
       description of possible error codes.
