ldap_unbind()--Perform an LDAP Unbind Request

 #include <ldap.h>
 
 int ldap_unbind(
          LDAP  *ld )

The ldap_unbind() function is used to end the connection to the LDAP server and free the resources contained in the ld structure.

Once it is called, any open connection to the LDAP server is closed, and the ld structure is invalid. The ldap_unbind_s() and ldap_unbind() APIs are both synchronous, and can be used interchangeably.

Authorities and Locks

Parameters

Return Value

Error Conditions

If ldap_unbind() is not successful, it returns an LDAP error code other than LDAP_SUCCESS. See LDAP Client API Error Conditions for possible LDAP error code values.
