Method Protocols.LDAP.client()->result()->fetch()

Method fetch

ResultEntry|zero fetch(int|void idx)

Description

Returns the current entry pointed to by the cursor.

Parameter index

This optional argument can be used for direct access to an entry other than the one currently pointed to by the cursor.

Returns

The return value is a mapping describing the entry:

attribute : string

An attribute in the entry. The value is an array containing the returned attribute value(s) on string form, or a single string if Protocols.LDAP.SEARCH_MULTIVAL_ARRAYS_ONLY was given to search and the attribute is typed as single valued. If Protocols.LDAP.SEARCH_RETURN_DECODE_ERRORS was given to search then Charset.DecodeError objects are returned in place of a string whenever an attribute value fails to be decoded.

"dn" : string

This special entry contains the object name of the entry as a distinguished name. This might also be a Charset.DecodeError if Protocols.LDAP.SEARCH_RETURN_DECODE_ERRORS was given to search.

Zero is returned if the cursor is outside the valid range of entries.

Throws

Unless Protocols.LDAP.SEARCH_RETURN_DECODE_ERRORS was given to search, a Charset.DecodeError is thrown if there is an error decoding the DN or any attribute value.

Note

It's undefined whether or not destructive operations on the returned mapping will affect future fetch calls for the same entry.

Note

In Pike 7.6 and earlier, the special "dn" entry was incorrectly returned in UTF-8 encoded form for LDAPv3 connections.
