<p>The <strong>ldap_explode_rdn()</strong> function uses the relative
distinguished name (RDN) in the local CCSID (as returned by <a href=
"ldap_explode_dn.htm">ldap_explode_dn()</a>, for example) and breaks it up into its
component parts. If the RDN is in UTF8, use <a href=
"ldap_explode_rdn_utf8.htm">ldap_explode_rdn_utf8()</a>.</p>
<p><strong>ldap_explode_rdn()</strong> returns a NULL-terminated array of
character strings. The <em>notypes</em> parameter is used to request that only
the component values be returned, not their types.</p>
<p>For example, the RDN "ou=Research+cn=Bob" would return as either
{"ou=Research", "cn=Bob", NULL} or {"Research","Bob", NULL}, depending on
whether <em>notypes</em> was 0 or 1, respectively. The result can be freed by
calling <a href="ldap_value_free.htm">ldap_value_free()</a>.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>No i5/OS authority is required.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><em>rdn</em></dt>
<dd>(Input) Specifies the RDN to be exploded (perhaps as returned by <a href=
"ldap_explode_dn.htm">ldap_explode_dn()</a>). Multiple RDNs can be concatenated
using a plus sign ('+').</dd>
<dt><em>notypes</em></dt>
<dd>(Input) Specifies if type information is to be returned with each RDN. If
non-zero, the type information will be stripped. If zero, the type information
is retained. For example, setting <em>notypes</em> to 1 would result in the RDN
"cn=Fido" being returned as "Fido".</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Components of Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)</strong></dt>
<dd>if the request was successful.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>NULL</strong></dt>
<dd>if the request was not successful.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>ldap_explode_rdn()</strong> is not successful, then there was no
memory available for either the array or its component parts.</p>
<br>
<h3>Error Messages</h3>
