53.10. Information about Attributes
The parameters listed below provide the following information about attributes:
53.10.1. Attribute Names
The parameters listed below are used to check for commonly-used attribute names. These are not pblock parameters but macros that define strings; for example,
SLAPI_ATTR_OBJECTCLASS is objectclass.
| Parameter ID | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
SLAPI_ATTR_NSCP_ENTRYDN | int | The nscpEntryDN attribute value. |
SLAPI_ATTR_OBJECTCLASS | int | The objectclass attribute value. |
SLAPI_ATTR_UNIQUEID | int | The nsuniqueid (unique ID) attribute value. |
SLAPI_ATTR_VALUE_PARENT_UNIQUEID | int | The nsParentUniqueID attribute value. |
SLAPI_ATTR_VALUE_TOMBSTONE | int | The nsTombstone attribute value. |
53.10.2. Attribute Flags
The parameters listed below are used by the
slapi_attr_get_flags() function to get the flags associated with the specified attribute. These flags can identify an attribute as a single- valued attribute, an operational attribute, or as a read-only attribute.
| Parameter ID | Description |
|---|---|
SLAPI_ATTR_FLAG_COLLECTIVE | Flag that indicates the optional collective marker has been set. This is not supported. |
SLAPI_ATTR_FLAG_NOUSERMOD | Flag that indicates this attribute cannot be modified by a user over LDAP. |
SLAPI_ATTR_FLAG_OBSOLETE | Flag that indicates this attribute is obsolete. |
SLAPI_ATTR_FLAG_OPATTR | Flag that determines if the attribute is an operational attribute. |
SLAPI_ATTR_FLAG_READONLY | Flag that determines if the attribute is read-only. |
SLAPI_ATTR_FLAG_SINGLE | Flag that determines if the attribute is single-valued. |
SLAPI_ATTR_FLAG_STD_ATTR | Flag that indicates that this is a standard, non-user-defined attribute that is not listed in the user defined schema file, which is typically the schema file named 99user.ldif. Standard attribute types can't be deleted by modifying the subschema subentry (cn=schema) over LDAP. |
53.10.3. Attribute Comparisons
The parameters listed below are used with the
slapi_attr_type_cmp() plug-in function to compare two components of an attribute.
| Parameter ID | Description |
|---|---|
SLAPI_TYPE_CMP_BASE | Ignores the options on both names and compares the base names only. |
SLAPI_TYPE_CMP_EXACT | Compares the base name plus options, as specified. |
SLAPI_TYPE_CMP_SUBTYPE | Ignores the options on the second name that are not in the first name. |
