<p>The <strong>ldap_count_messages()</strong> routine is used to step through
the list of messages in a result chain, as returned by <a href=
"ldap_result.htm">ldap_result()</a>. It is used to count the number of messages
returned. The <a href="ldap_msgtype.htm">ldap_msgtype()</a> API can be used to
distinguish between the different message types.</p>
<p>In addition to returning the number of messages contained in a chain of
results, the <strong>ldap_count_messages()</strong> API can be used to count
the number of messages that remain in a chain if called with a message, entry,
or reference returned by <strong>ldap_first_message()</strong>, <strong>
ldap_next_message()</strong>, <strong>ldap_first_entry()</strong>, <strong>
ldap_next_entry()</strong>, <strong>ldap_first_reference()</strong> and
<strong>ldap_next_reference()</strong>.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>

<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong><em>ld</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The LDAP pointer returned by a previous call to
<a href="ldap_init.htm">ldap_init()</a>,

<a href="ldap_open.htm">ldap_open()</a>.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong><em>result</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The result returned by a call to <strong>ldap_result()</strong> or

<a href="ldap_search_ext_s.htm">ldap_search_ext_st()</a>).</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Number of Messages</strong></dt>
<dd>If the request was successful, <strong>ldap_count_messages()</strong> API

<dd>if the request was not successful.</dd>

"ldap_error_condt.htm">LDAP Client API Error Conditions</a> for possible LDAP
error code values. Use <a href="ldap_get_errno.htm">ldap_get_errno()</a>
function to retrieve the error information.</p>
