Retrieving_the_Values_of_an_Attribute

   The ldap_get_values() and ldap_get_values_len()  functions are
   used to retrieve the values of a given attribute from an entry.
   The ldap_count_values() and ldap_count_values_len()  functions
   are used to count the returned values. The ldap_value_free() and
   ldap_value_free_len() functions are used to free the values.

           char **ldap_get_values(
                   LDAP            *ld,
                   LDAPMessage     *entry,
                   char            *attr
           );

           struct berval **ldap_get_values_len(
                   LDAP            *ld,
                   LDAPMessage     *entry,
                   char            *attr
           );

           int ldap_count_values( char **vals )

           int ldap_count_values_len( struct berval **vals );

           void ldap_value_free( char **vals );

           void ldap_value_free_len( struct berval **vals );

   Parameters are as follows:

   ld    The session handle.
   entry The entry from which to retrieve values, as returned by
         ldap_first_entry()  or ldap_next_entry().
   attr  The attribute whose values are to be retrieved, as returned
         by ldap_first_attribute()  or ldap_next_attribute(), or a
         caller- supplied string (for example, "mail").
   vals  The values returned by a previous call to ldap_get_
         values()  or ldap_get_values_len().

   Two forms of the various calls are provided. The first form is
   only suitable for use with non-binary character string data. The
   second _len form is used with any kind of data.

   The ldap_get_values() and ldap_get_values_len()  functions return
   NULL if no values are found for attr or if an error occurs.

   The ldap_count_values() and ldap_count_values_len()  functions
   return -1 if an error occurs such as the vals parameter being
   invalid.

   Note that the values returned are dynamically allocated and
   should be freed by calling either ldap_value_free() or ldap_
   value_free_len() when no longer in use.
