Hello,
Basically i need the count how many SearchResultEntry responses you get from
ldap_search_s().

Note : Pardon, i have mistakenly typed "ldap_search()" instead of "ldap_search_s()

"true/false for the particular filter" means following :
1.) If execute a filter , respond with >0 entry ---> true
2.) If execute a filter , respond with = 0 entry --> false.

Note : i have nothing to do with the attributes for the corresponding entries return for the search. So i am looking for a optimized way here which just let me know if any entry is available or not for particular filter.

Regards,
PKHUN

You need to count how many SearchResultEntry responses you get from
ldap_search().  Or, if slapd is configured to use the "noopsrch" module,
which implements the "noopsrch" control
<http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1509.html>, you get no results but
a control response that indicates, among other things, how many entries
would be returned by that search.  I'm not sure what you mean by
"pre-requesties".

Please specify what "true/false for the particular filter" means.
