Calling the ldap_url_parse() routine creates an LDAPURLDesc structure containing the components of the URL. To free the LDAPURLDesc structure, call the ldap_free_urldesc() routine.

typedef struct ldap_url_desc {

   char *lud_host;

   int lud_port;

   char *lud_dn;

   char **lud_attrs;

   int lud_scope;

   char *lud_filter;

   unsigned long lud_options;

} LDAPURLDesc;
