42.22. slapi_value_set_berval()

Description

This function sets the value of Slapi_Value structure. The value is duplicated from the berval structure bval.

Syntax

#include "slapi-plugin.h"
slapi_value_set_berval( Slapi_Value *value, const struct berval *bval );

Parameters

This function takes the following parameters:

value
Pointer to the Slapi_Value structure in which to set the value.
bval
Pointer to the berval value to be copied.
Returns

This function returns one of the following values:

  • The pointer to the Slapi_Value structure passed as the parameter.
  • NULL if it was NULL.
Memory Concerns

If the pointer to the Slapi_Value structure is NULL, nothing is done, and the function returns NULL. If the Slapi_Value already contains a value, it is freed from memory before the new one is set.

When you are no longer using the Slapi_Value structure, you should free it from memory by calling slapi_value_free().
