NAME
     cldapopen - LDAP connectionless communication preparation

SYNOPSIS
     cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ]
     #include 
     #include 

     LDAP *cldapopen(char *host, int port);


PARAMETERS
     host    The name of the host on which  the  LDAP  server  is
             running.


     port    The port number to connect.


DESCRIPTION
     The cldapopen() function is called to prepare  for  connec-
     tionless  LDAP communication (over udp(7P)). It allocates an
     LDAP structure which is passed to future search requests.


     If  the  default  IANA-assigned  port  of  389  is  desired,
     LDAPORT  should  be specified for port. host can contain a
     space-separated  list  of  hosts  or   addresses   to   try.
     cldapopen()  returns  a pointer to an LDAP structure, which
     should    be    passed    to     subsequent     calls     to
     cldapsearchs(3LDAP),     cldapsetretryinfo(3LDAP),    and
     cldapclose(3LDAP). Certain fields in the LDAP structure can
     be  set  to indicate size limit, time limit, and how aliases
     are handled during  operations.   See  ldapopen(3LDAP)  and
      for more details.

ERORS
     If an error  occurs,  cldapopen()  will  return   NUL  and
     errno will be set appropriately.
