28.SH DESCRIPTION
29.LP
30These routines are used to extract information from a result message.
31They will operate on the first result message in a chain of search
32results (skipping past other message types). They take the \fIresult\fP
33as returned by a call to
34.BR ldap_result (3),
35.BR ldap_search_s (3)
36or
37.BR ldap_search_st (3).
38In addition to
39.BR ldap_parse_result() ,
40the routines
41.B ldap_parse_sasl_bind_result()
42and
43.B ldap_parse_extended_result()
44are used to get all the result information from SASL bind and extended
45operations.
46.LP
47The \fIerrcodep\fP parameter will be filled in with the result code from
48the result message.
49.LP
50The server might supply a matched DN string in the message indicating
51how much of a name in a request was recognized. The \fImatcheddnp\fP
52parameter will be filled in with this string if supplied, else it will
53be NULL. If a string is returned, it should be freed using
54.BR ldap_memfree (3).
55.LP
56The \fIerrmsgp\fP parameter will be filled in with the error message
57field from the parsed message. This string should be freed using
58.BR ldap_memfree (3).
59.LP
60The \fIreferralsp\fP parameter will be filled in with an allocated array of
61referral strings from the parsed message. This array should be freed using
62.BR ldap_memvfree (3).
63If no referrals were returned, \fI*referralsp\fP is set to NULL.
64.LP
65The \fIserverctrlsp\fP parameter will be filled in with an allocated array of
66controls copied from the parsed message. The array should be freed using
67.BR ldap_controls_free (3).
68If no controls were returned, \fI*serverctrlsp\fP is set to NULL.
69.LP
70The \fIfreeit\fP parameter determines whether the parsed message is
71freed or not after the extraction. Any non-zero value will make it
72free the message. The
73.BR ldap_msgfree (3)
74routine can also be used to free the message later.
75.LP
76For SASL bind results, the \fIservercredp\fP parameter will be filled in
77with an allocated berval structure containing the credentials from the
78server if present. The structure should be freed using
79.BR ber_bvfree (3).
80.LP
81For extended results, the \fIretoidp\fP parameter will be filled in
82with the dotted-OID text representation of the name of the extended
83operation response. The string should be freed using
84.BR ldap_memfree (3).
85If no OID was returned, \fI*retoidp\fP is set to NULL.
86.LP
87For extended results, the \fIretdatap\fP parameter will be filled in
88with a pointer to a berval structure containing the data from the
89extended operation response. The structure should be freed using
90.BR ber_bvfree (3).
91If no data were returned, \fI*retdatap\fP is set to NULL.
92.LP
93For all the above result parameters, NULL values can be used in calls
94in order to ignore certain fields.
95.SH ERRORS
96Upon success LDAP_SUCCESS is returned. Otherwise the values of the
97result parameters are undefined.
