.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBldap_add_s()\fR function is used to perform an LDAP add operation. It
takes \fIdn\fR, the DN of the entry to add, and \fIattrs\fR, a null-terminated
array of the entry's attributes.  The LDAPMod structure is used to represent
attributes, with the \fImod_type\fR and \fImod_values\fR fields being used as
described under \fBldap_modify\fR(3LDAP), and the \fIldap_op\fR field being
used only if you need to specify the  \fBLDAP_MOD_BVALUES\fR option. Otherwise,
it should be set to zero.
.sp
.LP
Note that all entries except that specified by the last component in the given
DN must already exist. \fBldap_add_s()\fR returns an LDAP error code indicating
success or failure of the operation.  See \fBldap_error\fR(3LDAP) for more
details.
.sp
.LP
The \fBldap_add()\fR function works just like \fBldap_add_s()\fR, but it is
asynchronous.  It returns the message id of the request it initiated.  The
result of this operation can be obtained by calling \fBldap_result\fR(3LDAP).
.sp
.LP
The  \fBldap_add_ext()\fR function initiates an asynchronous add operation and
returns  \fBLDAP_SUCCESS\fR if the request was successfully sent to the server,
or else it returns a LDAP error code if not (see  \fBldap_error\fR(3LDAP)). If
successful,  \fBldap_add_ext()\fR \fBplaces\fR \fBthe\fR \fBmessage\fR \fBid\fR
\fBof\fR \fI*msgidp\fR. A subsequent call to  \fBldap_result()\fR, can be used
to obtain the result of the  add request.
.sp
.LP
The  \fBldap_add_ext_s()\fR function initiates a synchronous add operation and
returns the result of the operation itself.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
\fBldap_add()\fR returns  \fB\(mi1\fR in case of error initiating the request,
and will set the \fIld_errno\fR field in the \fIld\fR parameter to indicate the
error. \fBldap_add_s()\fR will return an LDAP error code directly.
