.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These functions provide an \fBLDAP\fR structure with access to session
preferences. The \fBldap_get_option()\fR function gets session preferences from
the \fBLDAP\fR structure. The \fBldap_set_option()\fR function sets session
preferences in the \fBLDAP\fR structure.
.sp
.LP
The \fIld\fR parameter specifies the connection handle, a pointer to an
\fBLDAP\fR structure that contains information about the \fBLDAP\fR server
connection. The \fIoption\fR parameter specifies the name of the option to be
read or modified. The \fIoptdata\fR parameter serves as a pointer to the value
of the option that you set or get.
