Syntax

#include "slapi-plugin.h"
char *slapi_entry2str( Slapi_Entry *e, int *len );

Parameters

The function has the following parameters:

e	Entry that you want to generate a description for.
len	Length of the string returned by this function.

Returns

The description of the entry as a string.

Description

This function returns the LDIF string representation of the entry or NULL if an error occurs. The string has the following format:

dn: <dn>\n

[<attr>: <value>\n]*

For example:

dn: uid=jrent2, ou=People, o=airius.com

cn: Judy Rentz

sn: Rentz

...

When you no longer need to use the string, you should free it from memory by calling the slapi_ch_free() function.

To convert a string description in this format to an entry of the Slapi_Entry data type, call the slapi_str2entry() function.
