Overview

The ldap_add_ext_s() routine is used to perform an LDAP add operation. It takes dn, the DN of the entry to add, and attrs, a null-terminated array of the entry's attributes. The LDAPMod structure is used to represent attributes, with the mod_type and mod_values fields being used as described under ldap_modify_ext(3), and the ldap_op field being used only if you need to specify the LDAP_MOD_BVALUES option. Otherwise, it should be set to zero.

Note that all entries except that specified by the last component in the given DN must already exist. ldap_add_ext_s() returns an code indicating success or, in the case of failure, indicating the nature of failure of the operation. See ldap_error(3) for more details.

The ldap_add_ext() routine works just like ldap_add_ext_s(), but it is asynchronous. It returns the message id of the request it initiated. The result of this operation can be obtained by calling ldap_result(3).

Deprecated interfaces

The ldap_add() and ldap_add_s() routines are deprecated in favor of the ldap_add_ext() and ldap_add_ext_s() routines, respectively.
