24 /** \example ldbreader.c
26 The code below shows a simple LDB application.
28 It lists / dumps the records in a LDB database to standard output.
32 #include "includes.h"
33 #include "ldb/include/ldb.h"
34 #include "ldb/include/ldb_errors.h"
37 ldb_ldif_write takes a function pointer to a custom output
38 function. This version is about as simple as the output function can
39 be. In a more complex example, you'd likely be doing something with
40 the private data function (e.g. holding a file handle).
42 static int vprintf_fn(void *private_data, const char *fmt, ...)
44 int retval;
45 va_list ap;
47 va_start(ap, fmt);
48 /* We just write to standard output */
49 retval = vprintf(fmt, ap);
50 va_end(ap);
51 /* Note that the function should return the number of
52 bytes written, or a negative error code */
53 return retval;
56 int main(int argc, const char **argv)
58 struct ldb_context *ldb;
59 struct ldb_result *resultMsg;
60 int i;
63 This is the always the first thing you want to do in an LDB
64 application - initialise up the context structure.
66 Note that you can use the context structure as a parent
67 for talloc allocations as well
69 ldb = ldb_init(NULL);
72 We now open the database. In this example we just hard code the connection path.
74 Also note that the database is being opened read-only. This means that the
75 call will fail unless the database already exists.
77 if (LDB_SUCCESS != ldb_connect(ldb, "tdb://tdbtest.ldb", LDB_FLG_RDONLY, NULL) ){
78 printf("Problem on connection\n");
79 exit(-1);
83 At this stage we have an open database, and can start using it. It is opened
84 read-only, so a query is possible.
86 We construct a search that just returns all the (sensible) contents. You can do
87 quite fine grained results with the LDAP search syntax, however it is a bit
88 confusing to start with. See RFC2254.
90 if (LDB_SUCCESS != ldb_search(ldb, ldb, &resultMsg, NULL, LDB_SCOPE_DEFAULT,
91 NULL, "(dn=*)") ) {
92 printf("Problem in search\n");
93 exit(-1);
96 printf("%i records returned\n", resultMsg->count);
99 We can now iterate through the results, writing them out
100 (to standard output) with our custom output routine as defined
101 at the top of this file
103 for (i = 0; i < resultMsg->count; ++i) {
104 struct ldb_ldif ldifMsg;
106 printf("Message: %i\n", i+1);
108 ldifMsg.changetype = LDB_CHANGETYPE_NONE;
109 ldifMsg.msg = resultMsg->msgs[i];
110 ldb_ldif_write(ldb, vprintf_fn, NULL, &ldifMsg);
114 There are two objects to clean up - the result from the
115 ldb_search() query, and the original ldb context.
117 talloc_free(resultMsg);
119 talloc_free(ldb);
121 return 0;
