The ldap_compare_s() routine is
used to perform an LDAP compare operation synchronously. It
takes dn, the DN of
the entry upon which to perform the compare, and attr and value, the attribute type and
value to compare to those found in the entry. It returns an
LDAP error code, which will be LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE if the entry
contains the attribute value and LDAP_COMPARE_FALSE if it
does not. Otherwise, some error code is returned.
The ldap_compare() routine is
used to perform an LDAP compare operation asynchronously. It
takes the same parameters as ldap_compare_s(), but returns
the message id of the request it initiated. The result of the
compare can be obtained by a subsequent call to ldap_result(3).
ldap_compare_s()
returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by
calling one of ldap_perror(3) and friends.
ldap_compare() returns -1 if something went wrong initiating
the request. It returns the non-negative message id of the
request if things went ok.
