.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B ldap_add_ext_s()
routine is used to perform an LDAP add operation.
It takes \fIdn\fP, the DN of the entry to add, and \fIattrs\fP, a
null-terminated array of the entry's attributes.  The LDAPMod structure
is used to represent attributes, with the \fImod_type\fP and
\fImod_values\fP fields being used as described under
.BR ldap_modify_ext (3),
and the \fIldap_op\fP field being used only if you need to specify
the LDAP_MOD_BVALUES option. Otherwise, it should be set to zero.
.LP
Note that all entries except that
specified by the last component in the given DN must already exist.
.B ldap_add_ext_s()
returns an code indicating success or, in the case of failure,
indicating the nature of failure of the operation.  See
.BR ldap_error (3)
for more details.
.LP
The
.B ldap_add_ext()
routine works just like
.BR ldap_add_ext_s() ,
but it is asynchronous.  It returns the message id of the request it
initiated.  The result of this operation can be obtained by calling
.BR ldap_result (3).
.SH DEPRECATED INTERFACES
The
.BR ldap_add ()
and
.BR ldap_add_s ()
routines are deprecated in favor of the
.BR ldap_add_ext ()
and
.BR ldap_add_ext_s ()
routines, respectively.
.LP
.lf 1 ./Deprecated
Deprecated interfaces generally remain in the library.  The macro
LDAP_DEPRECATED can be defined to a non-zero value
(e.g., -DLDAP_DEPRECATED=1) when compiling program designed to use
deprecated interfaces.  It is recommended that developers writing new
programs, or updating old programs, avoid use of deprecated interfaces.
Over time, it is expected that documentation (and, eventually, support) for
deprecated interfaces to be eliminated.
