slapi_attr_type_cmp()

Compares two attribute types to determine if they are the same.

#include "slapi-plugin.h"
int slapi_attr_type_cmp( char *t1, char *t2, int opt );

The function has the following parameters:
t1
Name of the first attribute type that you want to compare.

t2
Name of the second attribute type that you want to compare.

opt
One of the following values:
0
Compare the types as is.
1
Compare only the base names of the types (for example, if the type is cn;lang-en, the function compares only the cn part of the type).
2
Ignore any options in the second type that are not in the first type. For example, if the first type is cn and the second type is cn;lang-en, the lang-en option in the second type is not part of the first type. In this case, the function considers the two types to be the same.

0 if the type names are equal, or a non-zero value if they are not equal.
