Description

This function sets the value of the Slapi_Value structure by duplicating the string strVal.

Memory Concerns

If the pointer to the Slapi_Value is NULL, nothing is done and the function returns -1. If the Slapi_Value already contains a value, it is freed from memory before the new one is set.

When you are no longer using the Slapi_Value structure, you should free it from memory by calling slapi_value_free() .
