Ok the light bulb came on and I think I've figured out most of the
standard library (ldap.h) functions. I misspoke about some of the
depreciated functions. My library was not compiled correctly.
Now I am moving on to trying to read/write ldif files. ldif.c has
everything I need. However there are some odd includes:
#include <ac/stdlib.h>
#include <ac/ctype.h>
#include <ac/string.h>
#include <ac/socket.h>
#include <ac/time.h>
Can these be converted to <stdlib.h> instead of <ac/stdlib.h>? I'd
like to pull the minimal amount of code from the distribution to
include in my code. Ultimately I'd love to see a standard ldif lib
much like the ldap lib.
Can anyone assist? I am just starting into gcc and c and am a bit
rusty. To someone experienced I would think it could be extracted
rather quickly.
Probably not quickly enough for you, but here it is anyway:

I've spent the past few days rooting around the openldap site. I am
developing currently on Debian lenny using the libldap2-dev

small goal is to try and write my own rootdse program to better
understand the lib. I am stuck on one piece of code. I have no idea
where to get an LDIF library to parse/write ldif files.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? It's been a long
time since I was coding in C and it took me a while just to gather that
I needed -lldap to make what I have work.
I believe this is the only piece I'm missing, the LDAP library calls
work flawlessly. I also did learn that many of the depreciated
functions are still documented as valid functions (ldap_get_values,
ldap_count_values, ldap_value_free). I couldn't find anything that
replaced these..
There is no complete library for LDIF parsing in OpenLDAP; probably
there needs to be one. You should just copy the code in
clients/tools/ldapmodify.c in the meantime. And you should read
clients/tools/ldapsearch.c, regarding the other functions you mentioned.
