<p>The <strong>ldap_first_attribute()</strong> function returns the first
attribute in an entry. The <strong>ldap_first_attribute()</strong> and <a href=
"ldap_next_attr.htm">ldap_next_attribute()</a> functions are used to step
through the attributes in an LDAP entry.</p>
<p><strong>ldap_first_attribute()</strong> takes an entry returned by <a href=
"ldap_first_entry.htm">ldap_first_entry()</a> or <a href="ldap_next_entry.htm">
ldap_next_entry()</a> and returns a pointer to a buffer containing a null
terminated string that is the first attribute type in the entry. This buffer
must be freed when its use is completed using <a href="ldap_memfree.htm">
ldap_memfree()</a>. *<em>berptr</em> also must be freed when its use is
completed using <a href="ldap_ber_free.htm">ldap_ber_free()</a>.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>No i5/OS authority is required.</p>
<br>
<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_ssl_init.htm">ldap_ssl_init()</a>,
<a href="ldap_app_ssl_init_np.htm">ldap_app_ssl_init_np()</a>, or
<a href="ldap_open.htm">ldap_open()</a>.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong><em>entry</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The attribute information as returned by
<a href="ldap_first_entry.htm">ldap_first_entry()</a> or
<a href="ldap_next_entry.htm">ldap_next_entry()</a>.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong><em>berptr</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Output) A pointer to a BerElement that will be allocated to keep track of
the current position. It is an input and output parameter for subsequent calls
to <a href="ldap_next_attr.htm">ldap_next_attribute()</a>. The BerElement
structure is opaque to the application. Free *<em>berptr</em> when its use is
completed using <strong>ber_free</strong>.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Pointer to a buffer containing the first attribute type in the
entry</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_first_attribute()</strong> is not successful, NULL is
returned, and <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>
