<h2>ldap_delete()--Perform an LDAP Delete Operation</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 70%;">

&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax<br>
<pre>
#include &lt;ldap.h&gt;
int ldap_delete(
LDAP *<em>ld</em>,
const char *<em>dn</em>)
</pre>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Default Public Authority: *USE<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Library Name/Service Program: QSYS/QGLDCLNT<br>

<br>
</div>
<p>The <strong>ldap_delete()</strong> routine initiates an asynchronous LDAP operation to
delete a leaf entry. The result of the operation can be obtained by a
subsequent call to <a href="ldap_result.htm">ldap_result()</a>.</p>
<p>Note that the entry to delete must be a leaf entry (that is, it must have
no children). Deletion of entire subtrees in a single operation is not
supported by LDAP.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>No i5/OS authority is required. All authority checking is done by the
LDAP server.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><em>ld</em></dt>
<dd>(Input) Specifies the LDAP pointer returned by a previous call to <a
href="ldap_init.htm">ldap_init()</a>, <a href=
"ldap_ssl_init.htm">ldap_ssl_init()</a>, or <a href="ldap_open.htm">
ldap_open()</a>.</dd>
<dt><em>dn</em></dt>
<dd>(Input) Specifies the DN of the entry to be deleted.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Message ID of the Operation Initiated</strong></dt>
<dd>If the request was successful.
</dd>
<dt><strong>-1</strong></dt>
<dd>If the request was not successful.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>ldap_delete()</strong> is not successful, <em>ld_errno</em> will be set to indicate
the error. See <a href="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>
<br>
<h3>Error Messages</h3>
<p>The following message may be sent from this function.</p>
