 DESCRIPTION
The
 ldap_compare_ext_s() routine is used to perform an LDAP compare operation synchronously.
It takes dn, the DN of the entry upon which to perform the
compare, and attr and value, the attribute description and
value to compare to those found in the entry. It returns a code, which
will be LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE if the entry contains the attribute value and
LDAP_COMPARE_FALSE if it does not. Otherwise, an error code is
returned that indicates the nature of the problem. See
 ldap (3) for details.

The
 ldap_compare_ext() routine is used to perform an LDAP compare operation
asynchronously. It takes the same parameters as
 ldap_compare_ext_s() , but provides the message id of the request it initiated in the
integer pointed to msgidp. The result of
the compare can be obtained by a subsequent call to
 ldap_result (3). 

Both routines allow server and client controls to be specified to
extend the compare request.
 DEPRECATED INTERFACES
The routines
 ldap_compare () and
 ldap_compare_s () are deprecated in favor of
 ldap_compare_ext () and
 ldap_compare_ext_s (), respectively.
