     LDAP_FIRST_ATTRIBUTE(3)  OpenLDAP 2.1.12  LDAP_FIRST_ATTRIBUTE(3)

     NAME
          ldap_first_attribute, ldap_next_attribute - step through
          LDAP entry attributes

     LIBRARY
          OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <ldap.h>

          char *ldap_first_attribute(
               LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage entry, BerElement **berptr )

          char *ldap_next_attribute(
               LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage entry, BerElement *ber )

     DESCRIPTION
          The ldap_first_attribute() and ldap_next_attribute()
          routines are used to step through the attributes in an LDAP
          entry.  ldap_first_attribute() takes an entry as returned by
          ldap_first_entry(3) or ldap_next_entry(3) and returns a
          pointer to character string containing the first attribute
          description in the entry.  ldap_next_attribute() returns the
          next attribute description in the entry.

          It also returns, in berptr, a pointer to a BerElement it has
          allocated to keep track of its current position.  This
          pointer should be passed to subsequent calls to
          ldap_next_attribute() and is used used to effectively step
          through the entry's attributes.  The caller is solely
          responsible for freeing the BerElement pointed to by berptr
          when it is no longer needed by calling ber_free(3).  When
          calling ber_free(3) in this instance, be sure the second
          argument is 0.

          The attribute names returned are suitable for inclusion in a
          call to ldap_get_values(3) to retrieve the attribute's
          values.

     ERRORS
          If an error occurs, NULL is returned and the ld_errno field
          in the ld parameter is set to indicate the error.  See
          ldap_error(3) for a description of possible error codes.

     NOTES
          The ldap_first_attribute() and ldap_next_attribute() return
          dynamically allocated memory that must be freed by the
          caller via ldap_memfree(3).
