PCHAR ldap_dn2ufn(
  PCHAR dn
);

Parameters

Return Values

If the function is successful, the user-friendly name is returned as a pointer to a null-terminated character string.

If the function fails, NULL is returned.

Remarks

When given an entry distinguished name, ldap_dn2ufn returns a null-terminated character string that contains the entry name in a user-friendly format. The composition of the user-friendly format is based on the format described in RFC 1781, and depends upon the directory service implementation and the type of entry. The return value remains in memory-allocated space until you call ldap_memfree.
