.SH NAME
ldap_get_option, ldap_set_option \- LDAP option handling routines
.SH LIBRARY
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, \-lldap)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <ldap.h>
.LP
.BI "int ldap_get_option(LDAP *" ld ", int " option ", void *" outvalue ");"
.LP
.BI "int ldap_set_option(LDAP *" ld ", int " option ", const void *" invalue ");"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
These routines provide access to options stored either in a LDAP handle
or as global options, where applicable.
They make use of a neutral interface, where the type of the value
either retrieved by
.BR ldap_get_option (3)
or set by
.BR ldap_set_option (3)
is cast to
.BR "void *" .
The actual type is determined based on the value of the
.B option
argument.
Global options are set/retrieved by passing a NULL LDAP handle. LDAP handles
inherit their default settings from the global options in effect at the time
the handle is created.
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_API_FEATURE_INFO
Fills-in a
.BR "LDAPAPIFeatureInfo" ;
.BR outvalue
must be a
.BR "LDAPAPIFeatureInfo *" ,
pointing to an already allocated struct.
The
.B ldapaif_info_version
field of the struct must be initialized to
.B LDAP_FEATURE_INFO_VERSION
before making the call. The
.B ldapaif_name
field must be set to the name of a feature to query.
This is a read-only option.
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_API_INFO
Fills-in a
.BR "LDAPAPIInfo" ;
.BR outvalue
must be a
.BR "LDAPAPIInfo *" ,
pointing to an already allocated struct. The
.B ldapai_info_version
field of the struct must be initialized to
.B LDAP_API_INFO_VERSION
before making the call.
If the version passed in does not match the current library
version, the expected version number will be stored in the
struct and the call will fail.
The caller is responsible for freeing the elements of the
.B ldapai_extensions
array and the array itself using
.BR ldap_memfree (3).
The caller must also free the
.BR ldapi_vendor_name .
This is a read-only option.
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_CLIENT_CONTROLS
Sets/gets the client-side controls to be used for all operations.
This is now deprecated as modern LDAP C API provides replacements
for all main operations which accepts client-side controls as
explicit arguments; see for example
.BR ldap_search_ext (3),
.BR ldap_add_ext (3),
.BR ldap_modify_ext (3)
and so on.
.BR outvalue
must be
.BR "LDAPControl ***" ,
and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned controls, if any,
by calling
.BR ldap_controls_free (3),
while
.BR invalue
must be
.BR "LDAPControl *const *" ;
the library duplicates the controls passed via
.BR invalue .
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_ASYNC
Sets/gets the status of the asynchronous connect flag.
.BR invalue
should either be
.BR LDAP_OPT_OFF
or
.BR LDAP_OPT_ON ;
.BR outvalue
must be
.BR "int *" .
When set, the library will call
.BR connect (2)
and return, without waiting for response.
This leaves the handle in a connecting state.
Subsequent calls to library routines will poll for completion
of the connect before performing further operations.
As a consequence, library calls that need to establish a connection
with a DSA do not block even for the network timeout
(option
.BR LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT ).
This option is OpenLDAP specific.
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_CB
This option allows to set a connect callback.
.B invalue
must be a
.BR "const struct ldap_conncb *" .
Callbacks are executed in last in-first served order.
Handle-specific callbacks are executed first, followed by global ones.
Right before freeing the callback structure, the
.B lc_del
callback handler is passed a
.B NULL
.BR Sockbuf .
Calling
.BR ldap_get_option (3)
for this option removes the callback whose pointer matches
.BR outvalue .
This option is OpenLDAP specific.
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL
Sets/gets the debug level of the client library.
.BR invalue
must be a
.BR "const int *" ;
.BR outvalue
must be a
.BR "int *" .
Valid debug levels are
.BR LDAP_DEBUG_ANY ,
.BR LDAP_DEBUG_ARGS ,
.BR LDAP_DEBUG_BER ,
.BR LDAP_DEBUG_CONNS ,
.BR LDAP_DEBUG_NONE ,
.BR LDAP_DEBUG_PACKETS ,
.BR LDAP_DEBUG_PARSE ,
and
.BR LDAP_DEBUG_TRACE .
This option is OpenLDAP specific.
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_DEFBASE
Sets/gets a string containing the DN to be used as default base
for search operations.
.BR outvalue
must be a
.BR "char **" ,
and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned string by calling
.BR ldap_memfree (3),
while
.BR invalue
must be a
.BR "const char *" ;
the library duplicates the corresponding string.
This option is OpenLDAP specific.
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_DEREF
Sets/gets the value that defines when alias dereferencing must occur.
.BR invalue
must be
.BR "const int *" ;
.BR outvalue
must be
.BR "int *" .
They cannot be NULL.
The value of
.BR *invalue
should be one of
.BR LDAP_DEREF_NEVER
(the default),
.BR LDAP_DEREF_SEARCHING ,
.BR LDAP_DEREF_FINDING ,
or
.BR LDAP_DEREF_ALWAYS .
Note that this has ever been the only means to determine alias dereferencing
within search operations.
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_DESC
Returns the file descriptor associated to the socket buffer
of the LDAP handle passed in as
.BR ld ;
.BR outvalue
must be a
.BR "int *" .

when trying to establish a connection.
This is now deprecated in favor of
.BR LDAP_OPT_URI .

and the caller is responsible of freeing the resulting string by calling
.BR ldap_memfree (3),
while
.BR invalue
must be a
.BR "const char *" ;
the library duplicates the corresponding string.
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_MATCHED_DN
Sets/gets a string containing the matched DN associated to the LDAP handle.
.BR outvalue
must be a
.BR "char **" ,
and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned string by calling
.BR ldap_memfree (3),
while

must be a
.BR "const char *" ;
the library duplicates the corresponding string.
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT
Sets/gets the network timeout value after which
.BR poll (2)/ select (2)
following a
.BR connect (2)
returns in case of no activity.
.B outvalue
must be a
.BR "struct timeval **"
(the caller has to free
.BR *outvalue ) ,
and
.B invalue
must be a
.BR "const struct timeval *" .
They cannot be NULL. Using a struct with seconds set to \-1 results
in an infinite timeout, which is the default.
This option is OpenLDAP specific.

.BR outvalue
must be a
.BR "int *" .
.TP
.B LDAP_OPT_SERVER_CONTROLS
Sets/gets the server-side controls to be used for all operations.

for all main operations which accepts server-side controls as
explicit arguments; see for example
.BR ldap_search_ext (3),
.BR ldap_add_ext (3),
.BR ldap_modify_ext (3)
and so on.
.BR outvalue
must be

the library duplicates the controls passed via
.BR invalue .
.TP

while
.BR invalue

the library parses the string into a list of
.BR LDAPURLDesc
structures, so the invocation of

Applications generally should not use this option.
.SH ERRORS
On success, the functions return
.BR LDAP_OPT_SUCCESS ,
while they may return
.B LDAP_OPT_ERROR
to indicate a generic option handling error.
Occasionally, more specific errors can be returned, like
.B LDAP_NO_MEMORY
to indicate a failure in memory allocation.
.SH NOTES
The LDAP libraries with the
.B LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS
option set to
.B LDAP_OPT_ON
(default value) automatically follow referrals using an anonymous bind.
Application developers are encouraged to either implement consistent
referral chasing features, or explicitly disable referral chasing
by setting that option to
.BR LDAP_OPT_OFF .
.P
The protocol version used by the library defaults to LDAPv2 (now historic),
which corresponds to the
.B LDAP_VERSION2
macro.
Application developers are encouraged to explicitly set
.B LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION
to LDAPv3, using the
.B LDAP_VERSION3
macro, or to allow users to select the protocol version.
