cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ] #include <lber.h> #include <ldap.h>int ldap_compare(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr, char *value);
The ldap_compare_s() function is used to perform an LDAP compare operation synchronously. It takes dn , the DN of the entry upon which to perform the compare, and attr and value , the attribute type and value to compare to those found in the entry. It returns an LDAP error code, which will be LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE if the entry contains the attribute value and LDAP_COMPARE_FALSE if it does not. Otherwise, some error code is returned.
The ldap_compare() function is used to perform an LDAP compare operation asynchronously. It takes the same parameters as ldap_compare_s() , but returns the message id of the request it initiated. The result of the compare can be obtained by a subsequent call to ldap_result(3LDAP) .
The ldap_compare_ext() function initiates an asynchronous compare operation and returns LDAP_SUCCESS if the request was successfully sent to the server, or else it returns a LDAP error code if not (see ldap_error(3LDAP) . If successful, ldap_compare_ext() places the message id of the request in *msgidp . A subsequent call to ldap_result() , can be used to obtain the result of the add request.
The ldap_compare_ext_s() function initiates a synchronous compare operation and as such returns the result of the operation itself.
ldap_compare_s() returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by calling one of ldap_perror(3LDAP) and friends. ldap_compare() returns -1 if something went wrong initiating the request. It returns the non-negative message id of the request if it was successful.

There is no way to compare binary values but there should be.
