 slapi_dn_parent()
Gets a copy of the distinguished name (DN) of the parent of an entry. Before calling this function, you should call slapi_dn_normalize_case() to normalize the DN and convert all characters to lowercase.

If you want to check if the DN is the suffix of the local database, call the slapi_dn_beparent() function instead.

[??? Do we also want to document the ability to use this with DNS-style addresses? e.g., binky@groening.hell.com or bongo.hell.com? ???]

Syntax

#include "slapi-plugin.h"
char *slapi_dn_parent( char *dn );

Parameters

The function has the following parameters:
dn

DN of the entry that you want to find the parent for

Returns

DN of the parent entry, or NULL if the specified DN is NULL, if the DN is an empty string, or if the DN has no parent (for example, o=Airius.com).
