Re: ber_scanf and ber_printf strangeness

Hi!

I'm developing kldap, a Qt wrapper for LDAP-functions. When I tested ber_scanf and ber_printf functions, I found this strangeness: Encode a sequence of octet strings via ber_printf ber_printf(ber,"{v}",list_of_strings); But decoding only succeeds if I use the following scanf formats: ber_scanf(ber,"v",...) - yes, without '{}', or ber_scanf(ber,"{ooo}") As I read the ber_scanf man page, 'v' format actually decodes a sequence of octet strings, so my examples are correct according to these. But the code example on the end shows that '{v}' should be used. So what is the right way?

It looks like the manpage example is wrong.
