.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The function \fBldap_modify_s()\fR is used to perform an LDAP modify operation.
\fIdn\fR is the DN of the entry to modify, and \fImods\fR is a null-terminated
array of modifications to make to the entry.   Each element of the \fImods\fR
array is a pointer to an  \fBLDAPMod\fR structure, which is defined below.
.sp

.nf
	typedef struct ldapmod {
	    int mod_op;
	    char *mod_type;
	    union {
		char **modv_strvals;
		struct berval **modv_bvals;
	      } mod_vals;
	    } LDAPMod;
	#define mod_values mod_vals.modv_strvals
	#define mod_bvalues mod_vals.modv_bvals
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
The \fImod_op\fR field is used to specify the type of modification to perform
and should be one of  \fBLDAP_MOD_ADD\fR, \fBLDAP_MOD_DELETE\fR, or
\fBLDAP_MOD_REPLACE\fR. The \fImod_type\fR and \fImod_values\fR fields specify
the attribute type to modify and a null-terminated array of values to add,
delete, or replace respectively.
.sp
.LP
If you need to specify a non-string value (for example, to add a photo or audio
attribute value), you should set \fImod_op\fR to the logical OR of the
operation as above (for example,  \fBLDAP_MOD_REPLACE\fR) and the constant
\fBLDAP_MOD_BVALUES\fR. In this case, \fImod_bvalues\fR should be used instead
of \fImod_values\fR, and it should point to a null-terminated array of struct
bervals, as defined in  <\fBlber.h\fR>.
.sp
.LP
For  \fBLDAP_MOD_ADD\fR modifications, the given values are added to the entry,
creating the attribute if necessary.  For  \fBLDAP_MOD_DELETE\fR modifications,
the given values are deleted from the entry, removing the attribute if no
values remain.  If the entire attribute is to be deleted, the \fImod_values\fR
field should be set to NULL.  For  \fBLDAP_MOD_REPLACE\fR modifications, the
attribute will have the listed values after the modification, having been
created if necessary.  All modifications are performed in the order in which
they are listed.
.sp
.LP
\fBldap_modify_s()\fR returns the LDAP error code resulting from the modify
operation.
.sp
.LP
The \fBldap_modify()\fR operation works the same way as \fBldap_modify_s()\fR,
except that it is asynchronous, returning the message id of the request it
initiates, or  \fB\(mi1\fR on error.  The result of the operation can be
obtained by calling \fBldap_result\fR(3LDAP).
.sp
.LP
\fBldap_mods_free()\fR can be used to free each element of a null-terminated
array of mod structures.  If \fIfreemods\fR is non-zero, the \fImods\fR pointer
itself is freed as well.
.sp
.LP
The  \fBldap_modify_ext()\fR function initiates an asynchronous modify
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_modify_ext()\fR places the
message id of the request in  \fI*msgidp\fR. A subsequent call to
\fBldap_result\fR(3LDAP), can be used to obtain the result of the add request.
.sp
.LP
The  \fBldap_modify_ext_s()\fR function initiates a synchronous modify
operation and returns the result of the operation itself.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
\fBldap_modify_s()\fR returns an LDAP error code, either  \fBLDAP_SUCCESS\fR or
an error. See \fBldap_error\fR(3LDAP).
.sp
.LP
\fBldap_modify()\fR returns  \fB\(mi1\fR in case of trouble, setting the
\fBerror\fR field of \fIld\fR.
