Functions for Managing Entries

Syntax
#include “slapi-plugin.h”
int slapi_entry_attr_find( const Slapi_Entry *e, const char *type,
Slapi_Attr **attr );
Parameters
This function takes the following parameters:
Returns
This function returns one of the following values:
•
0
if the entry contains the specified attribute.
•
-1
if the entry does not contain the specified attribute.
Memory Concerns
Do not free the returned
attr
. It is a pointer to the internal entry data structure. It
is usually wise to make a copy of the returned
attr
, using
slapi_attr_dup()
, to
avoid dangling pointers if the entry is freed while the pointer to
attr
is still being
used.
See Also
