Description

Syntax
#include "slapi-plugin.h" char *slapi_attr_basetype( char *type, char *buf, size_t bufsiz );
Parameters
This function takes the following parameters:
| type | Attribute type from which you want to get the base type. |
| buf | Buffer to hold the returned base type. |
| bufsiz | Size of the buffer. |
Returns
