       LDAP operations to the LDAP server.

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_extended_operation(
              LDAP *ld,
              const char *requestoid,
              const struct berval *requestdata,
              LDAPControl **sctrls,
              LDAPControl **cctrls,
              int *msgidp );

       int ldap_extended_operation_s(
              LDAP *ld,
              const char *requestoid,
              const struct berval *requestdata,
              LDAPControl **sctrls,
              LDAPControl **cctrls,
              char **retoidp,
              struct berval **retdatap );

DESCRIPTION         top

       The ldap_extended_operation_s() routine is used to synchronously
       perform an LDAP extended operation.  It takes requestoid, which
       points to a dotted-decimal OID string identifying the extended
       operation to perform. requestdata is the data required for the
       request, sctrls is an array of LDAPControl structures to use with
       this extended operation, cctrls is an array of LDAPControl
       structures that list the client controls to use with this extended
       operation.

       The output parameter retoidp points to a dotted-decimal OID string
       returned by the LDAP server.  The memory used by the string should
       be freed with the ldap_memfree(3) function.  The output parameter
       retdatap points to a pointer to a berval structure that contains
       the returned data.  If no data is returned by the server, the
       pointer is set this to NULL.  The memory used by this structure
       should be freed with the ber_bvfree(3) function.

       The ldap_extended_operation() works just like
       ldap_extended_operation_s(), but the operation is asynchronous.
       It provides the message id of the request it initiated in the
       integer pointed to be msgidp.  The result of this operation can be
       obtained by calling ldap_result(3).
