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.
