.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B ldap_modrdn()
and
.B ldap_modrdn_s()
routines perform an LDAP modify
RDN operation.  They both take \fIdn\fP, the DN of the entry whose
RDN is to be changed, and \fInewrdn\fP, the new RDN to give the entry.
The old RDN of the entry is never kept as an attribute of the entry.
.B ldap_modrdn()
is asynchronous, returning the message id of the operation
it initiates.
.B ldap_modrdn_s()
is synchronous, returning the LDAP error
code indicating the success or failure of the operation.  Use of
these routines is deprecated.  Use the versions described below
instead.
.LP
The
.B ldap_modrdn2()
and
.B ldap_modrdn2_s()
routines also perform an LDAP
modify RDN operation, taking the same parameters as above.  In addition,
they both take the \fIdeleteoldrdn\fP parameter which is used as a boolean
value to indicate whether the old RDN values should be deleted from
the entry or not.
.SH ERRORS
The synchronous (_s) versions of these routines return an LDAP error
code, either LDAP_SUCCESS or an error if there was trouble.
The asynchronous versions return \-1 in case
of trouble, setting the
.B ld_errno
field of \fIld\fP.  See
.BR ldap_error (3)
for more details.
