slapi_attr_get_flags()

Gets the flags associated with the specified attribute. These flags can identify an attribute as a single-valued attribute, an operational attribute, or as a read-only attribute.

#include "slapi-plugin.h"
int slapi_attr_get_flags( Slapi_Attr *attr, unsigned long *flags );

The function has the following parameters:
attr
Attribute that you want to get the flags for.

flags
When you call slapi_attr_get_flags(), this parameter is set to a pointer to the flags of the specified attribute. Do not free the flags; the flags are part of the actual data in the attribute, not a copy of the data.

To determine which flags have been set, you can bitwise AND the value of the flags argument with one or more of the following:
SLAPI_ATTR_FLAG_SINGLE
Flag that determines if the attribute is single-valued.

SLAPI_ATTR_FLAG_OPATTR
Flag that determines if the attribute is an operational attribute.

SLAPI_ATTR_FLAG_READONLY
Flag that determines if the attribute is read-only.

0 if successful.
