Parameters

This function takes the following parameters:

pb

Parameter block.

dn

DN of the entry for which you want to find the parent.

Returns

This function returns the DN of the parent entry; or NULL if the specified DN is NULL, if the DN is an empty string, if the DN has no parent (for example, o=example.com), or if the specified DN is the suffix of the local database.
