Detailed Description¶
This header provides a set of result codes for LDB function calls.
Many LDB function calls return an integer value (int). As shown in the function documentation, those return values may indicate whether the function call worked correctly (in which case it returns LDB_SUCCESS) or some problem occurred (in which case some other value will be returned). As a special case, LDB_ERR_COMPARE_FALSE or LDB_ERR_COMPARE_TRUE may be returned, which does not indicate an error.
Note
Some of this documentation is based on information in the OpenLDAP documentation, as developed and maintained by the The OpenLDAP Project.
