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.
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
, ...)
46 /* We just write to standard output */
47 retval
= vprintf(fmt
, ap
);
49 /* Note that the function should return the number of
50 bytes written, or a negative error code */
54 int main(int argc
, const char **argv
)
56 struct ldb_context
*ldb
;
58 struct ldb_ldif
*ldifMsg
;
61 printf("Usage %s filename.ldif\n", argv
[0]);
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
) {
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");
94 case LDB_CHANGETYPE_ADD
:
95 printf("ChangeType: Add\n");
97 case LDB_CHANGETYPE_MODIFY
:
98 printf("ChangeType: Modify\n");
100 case LDB_CHANGETYPE_DELETE
:
101 printf("ChangeType: Delete\n");
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
);
116 ldb_ldif_read_free(ldb
, ldifMsg
);
