Re: LDAP_RES_ENTRY vs LDAP_RES_RESULT

I am writing an application about pki, which needs openldap, when I try to query an entry from ldap server, openLDAP return LDAP_RES_ENTRY or LDAP_RES_RESULT if successful.

"and", not "or". The server sends each matching entry (if any) in a separate LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ENTRY message over the LDAP protocol. And/or LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE messages for references to other servers.

Finally, an LDAP_RES_SEARCH_RESULT message is sent with the result code, a possible error message, etc. These fields are not present in LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ENTRY messages.
