       Perform an LDAP modify RDN operation


SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_modrdn(ld, dn, newrdn)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn, *newrdn;

       int ldap_modrdn_s(ld, dn, newrdn)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn, *newrdn;

       int ldap_modrdn2(ld, dn, newrdn, deleteoldrdn)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn, *newrdn;
       int deleteoldrdn;

       int ldap_modrdn2_s(ld, dn, newrdn, deleteoldrdn)
       LDAP *ld;
       char *dn, *newrdn;
       int deleteoldrdn;


DESCRIPTION

       The ldap_modrdn() and ldap_modrdn_s() routines perform  an
       LDAP  modify  RDN operation.  They both take dn, the DN of
       the entry whose RDN is to be changed, and newrdn, the  new
       RDN  to give the entry.  The old RDN of the entry is never
       kept as an attribute of the entry.  ldap_modrdn() is asyn­
       chronous,  returning  the  message  id of the operation it
       initiates.  ldap_modrdn_s() is synchronous, returning  the
       LDAP  error  code indicating the success or failure of the
       operation.  Use of these routines is deprecated.  Use  the
       versions described below instead.

       The ldap_modrdn2() and ldap_modrdn2_s() routines also per­
       form an LDAP modify RDN operation, taking the same parame­
       ters  as above.  In addition, they both take the deleteol­
       drdn parameter which is used as a boolean value  to  indi­
       cate whether the old RDN values should be deleted from the
       entry or not.


ERRORS

       The synchronous (_s) versions of these routines return  an
       LDAP  error code, either LDAP_SUCCESS or an error if there
       was trouble.  The asynchronous versions return -1 in  case
       of  trouble,  setting  the  ld_errno  field  of  ld.   See
       ldap_error(3) for more details.
