The following table outlines some of the deprecated functions and the functions you should use in their place whenever you write new code. For more information on the functions that have been deprecated, refer to the ldap.h header file and the most recent C LDAP API Internet Draft. This guide explains how to use the Netscape LDAP SDK for C to enable applications to interact with LDAP servers.

Italic serif font is used within code and language elements to indicate variable placeholders.
Italic type is used within paragraph text for book titles, emphasis, variables, and placeholders.
However, note that this SDK is also available in source code form as part of the Mozilla.org open source project. The following table lists several sources of information on LDAP and its associated technologies. Note that some of the links in this table are time-sensitve and the drafts might expire. 2000 Netscape Communications Corp. All rights reserved.
