24 /** \example ldifreader.c
26 The code below shows a simple LDB application.
28 It lists / dumps the entries in an LDIF file to standard output.
32 #include "ldb.h"
35 ldb_ldif_write takes a function pointer to a custom output
36 function. This version is about as simple as the output function can
37 be. In a more complex example, you'd likely be doing something with
38 the private data function (e.g. holding a file handle).
40 static int vprintf_fn(void *private_data, const char *fmt, ...)
42 int retval;
43 va_list ap;
45 va_start(ap, fmt);
46 /* We just write to standard output */
47 retval = vprintf(fmt, ap);
48 va_end(ap);
49 /* Note that the function should return the number of
50 bytes written, or a negative error code */
51 return retval;
54 int main(int argc, const char **argv)
56 struct ldb_context *ldb;
57 FILE *fileStream;
58 struct ldb_ldif *ldifMsg;
60 if (argc != 2) {
61 printf("Usage %s filename.ldif\n", argv[0]);
62 exit(1);
66 This is the always the first thing you want to do in an LDB
67 application - initialise up the context structure.
69 Note that you can use the context structure as a parent
70 for talloc allocations as well
72 ldb = ldb_init(NULL, NULL);
74 fileStream = fopen(argv[1], "r");
75 if (0 == fileStream) {
76 perror(argv[1]);
77 exit(1);
81 We now work through the filestream to get each entry.
83 while ( (ldifMsg = ldb_ldif_read_file(ldb, fileStream)) ) {
85 Each message has a particular change type. For Add,
86 Modify and Delete, this will also appear in the
87 output listing (as changetype: add, changetype:
88 modify or changetype:delete, respectively).
90 switch (ldifMsg->changetype) {
91 case LDB_CHANGETYPE_NONE:
92 printf("ChangeType: None\n");
93 break;
94 case LDB_CHANGETYPE_ADD:
95 printf("ChangeType: Add\n");
96 break;
97 case LDB_CHANGETYPE_MODIFY:
98 printf("ChangeType: Modify\n");
99 break;
100 case LDB_CHANGETYPE_DELETE:
101 printf("ChangeType: Delete\n");
102 break;
103 default:
104 printf("ChangeType: Unknown\n");
108 We can now write out the results, using our custom
109 output routine as defined at the top of this file.
111 ldb_ldif_write(ldb, vprintf_fn, NULL, ldifMsg);
114 Clean up the message
116 ldb_ldif_read_free(ldb, ldifMsg);
120 Clean up the context
122 talloc_free(ldb);
124 return 0;
