LDAPFiltInfo

LDAPFiltInfo represents information about a filter in the filter configuration file. When you call the ldap_getfirstfilter() or ldap_getnextfilter() routines to get a filter from the filter configuration file, the routines return a pointer to an LDAPFiltInfo structure containing the information about the filter.

typedef struct ldap_filt_info {

   char *lfi_filter;

   char *lfi_desc;

   int lfi_scope;

   int lfi_isexact;

   struct ldap_filt_info *lfi_next;

} LDAPFiltInfo;

LDAPFiltInfo *lfip;

/* Print out the filter */

printf( "Filter:\t%s\n", lfdp->lfd_filter );

printf( "Description:\t%s\n", lfdp->lfd_desc );

"@" " " "(mail=%v)" "email address is" "onelevel"

Filter: (mail=@)

lfi_filter	The filter (for example, `(cn=d*)`).
lfi_desc	Description of the filter (the fifth field in the filter configuration file).
lfi_scope	The scope of the filter (the sixth field in the filter configuration file), which can be one of the following values: `LDAP_SCOPE_BASE` specifies that the search will be restricted to the current distinguished name. `LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL` specifies that the search will be restricted to the entries at the level beneath the current distinguished name. `LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE` specifies that the search will encompass entries at all levels beneath the current distinguished name. If the scope of the filter is not specified in the filter configuration file, the scope is `LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE` by default.
lfi_isexact	Specifies whether or not the filter is an exact filter (an exact filter contains no wildcards and does not match words that sound alike): 0 specifies that the filter is not an exact filter. 1 specifies that the filter is an exact filter.
lfi_next	Pointer to the `LDAPFiltInfo` structure representing the next filter in the filter list.
