LDAP_MODRDN(3)         C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS         LDAP_MODRDN(3)

NAME

     ldap_modrdn, ldap_modrdn_s, ldap_modrdn2,  ldap_modrdn2_s  -
     Perform an LDAP modify RDN operation

LIBRARY

     OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <ldap.h>

     int ldap_modrdn(ld, dn, newrdn)
     LDAP *ld;
     char *dn, *newrdn;

     int ldap_modrdn_s(ld, dn, newrdn)
     LDAP *ld;
     char *dn, *newrdn;

     int ldap_modrdn2(ld, dn, newrdn, deleteoldrdn)
     LDAP *ld;
     char *dn, *newrdn;
     int deleteoldrdn;

     int ldap_modrdn2_s(ld, dn, newrdn, deleteoldrdn)
     LDAP *ld;
     char *dn, *newrdn;
     int deleteoldrdn;

DESCRIPTION

     The ldap_modrdn() and ldap_modrdn_s()  routines  perform  an
     LDAP modify RDN operation.  They both take dn, the DN of the
     entry whose RDN is to be changed, and newrdn, the new RDN to
     give  the  entry.  The old RDN of the entry is never kept as
     an attribute of the entry.  ldap_modrdn()  is  asynchronous,
     returning  the  message  id  of  the operation it initiates.
     ldap_modrdn_s() is synchronous,  returning  the  LDAP  error
     code  indicating  the  success  or failure of the operation.
     Use of these  routines  is  deprecated.   Use  the  versions
     described below instead.

     The ldap_modrdn2() and ldap_modrdn2_s() routines  also  per-
     form  an  LDAP modify RDN operation, taking the same parame-
     ters as above.  In addition, they both take the deleteoldrdn
     parameter  which  is  used  as  a  boolean value to indicate
     whether the old RDN values should be deleted from the  entry
     or not.

ERRORS

     The synchronous (_s) versions of these  routines  return  an
     LDAP  error  code,  either LDAP_SUCCESS or an error if there
     was trouble.  The asynchronous versions return -1 in case of
     trouble,   setting   the   ld_errno   field   of   ld.   See
