LDAP_DELETE(3)                                                                                LDAP_DELETE(3)



NAME
       ldap_delete, ldap_delete_s - Perform an LDAP delete operation

LIBRARY
       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_delete_s(ld, dn)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn;

       int ldap_delete(ld, dn)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn;

DESCRIPTION
       The  ldap_delete_s() routine is used to perform an LDAP delete operation synchronously.  It takes dn,
       the DN of the entry to be deleted.  It returns an LDAP error code, indicating the success or  failure
       of the operation.

       The  ldap_delete()  routine is used to perform an LDAP delete operation asynchronously.  It takes the
       same parameters as ldap_delete_s(), but returns the message id of  the  request  it  initiated.   The
       result of the delete can be obtained by a subsequent call to ldap_result(3).

ERRORS
       ldap_delete_s()  returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by calling one of ldap_perror(3)
       and friends.  ldap_delete() returns -1 if something went wrong initiating the  request.   It  returns
       the non-negative message id of the request if things went ok.
