=item ldap_error_name ( ERR )
Returns the name corresponding with ERR. ERR can either be an LDAP
error number, or a C<Net::LDAP::Message> object containing an error
code. If the error is not known the a string in the form C<"LDAP error
code %d(0x%02X)"> is returned.

# Defined in Constant.pm
=item ldap_error_text ( ERR )
Returns the text from the POD description for the given error. ERR can
either be an LDAP error code, or a C<Net::LDAP::Message> object
containing an LDAP error code. If the error code given is unknown then
C<undef> is returned.
=cut
# Defined in Constant.pm
=item ldap_error_desc ( ERR )
Returns a short text description of the error. ERR can either be an
LDAP error code or a C<Net::LDAP::Message> object containing an LDAP
error code.

=item canonical_dn ( DN [ , OPTIONS ] )
Returns the given B<DN> in a canonical form. Returns undef if B<DN> is
not a valid Distinguished Name. (Note: The empty string "" is a valid DN.)
B<DN> can either be a string or reference to an array of hashes as returned by
ldap_explode_dn, which is useful when constructing a DN.
It performs the following operations on the given B<DN>:
=over 4
=item *
Removes the leading 'OID.' characters if the type is an OID instead
of a name.
=item *
Escapes all RFC 4514 special characters (",", "+", """, "\", "E<lt>",
"E<gt>", ";", "#", "=", " "), slashes ("/"), and any other character
where the ASCII code is E<lt> 32 as \hexpair.
=item *
Converts all leading and trailing spaces in values to be \20.
=item *
If an RDN contains multiple parts, the parts are re-ordered so that
the attribute type names are in alphabetical order.
=back
B<OPTIONS> is a list of name/value pairs, valid options are:
=over 4
=item casefold
Controls case folding of attribute type names. Attribute values are not
affected by this option. The default is to uppercase. Valid values are:
=over 4
=item lower
Lowercase attribute type names.
=item upper
Uppercase attribute type names. This is the default.
=item none
Do not change attribute type names.
=back
=item mbcescape
If TRUE, characters that are encoded as a multi-octet UTF-8 sequence
will be escaped as \(hexpair){2,*}.
=item reverse
If TRUE, the RDN sequence is reversed.
=item separator
Separator to use between RDNs. Defaults to comma (',').
=back

}
=item ldap_explode_dn ( DN [ , OPTIONS ] )
Explodes the given B<DN> into an array of hashes and returns a reference to this
array. Returns undef if B<DN> is not a valid Distinguished Name.
A Distinguished Name is a sequence of Relative Distinguished Names (RDNs), which
themselves are sets of Attributes. For each RDN a hash is constructed with the
attribute type names as keys and the attribute values as corresponding values.
These hashes are then stored in an array in the order in which they appear
in the DN.
For example, the DN 'OU=Sales+CN=J. Smith,DC=example,DC=net' is exploded to:
[
{
'OU' =E<gt> 'Sales',
'CN' =E<gt> 'J. Smith'
},
{
'DC' =E<gt> 'example'
},
{
'DC' =E<gt> 'net'
}
]
(RFC4514 string) DNs might also contain values, which are the bytes of the
BER encoding of the X.500 AttributeValue rather than some LDAP string syntax.
These values are hex-encoded and prefixed with a #. To distinguish such BER
values, ldap_explode_dn uses references to the actual values,
e.g. '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=#04024869,DC=example,DC=com' is exploded to:
[
{
'1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0' =E<gt> "\004\002Hi"
},
{
'DC' =E<gt> 'example'
},
{
'DC' =E<gt> 'com'
}
];
It also performs the following operations on the given DN:
=over 4
=item *
Unescape "\" followed by ",", "+", """, "\", "E<lt>", "E<gt>", ";",
"#", "=", " ", or a hexpair and and strings beginning with "#".
=item *
Removes the leading 'OID.' characters if the type is an OID instead
of a name.
=back
B<OPTIONS> is a list of name/value pairs, valid options are:
=over 4
=item casefold

=over 4
=item lower
Lowercase attribute types names.
=item upper
Uppercase attribute type names. This is the default.
=item none

=item escape_filter_value ( VALUES )
Escapes the given B<VALUES> according to RFC 4515 so that they
can be safely used in LDAP filters.
Any control characters with an ACII code E<lt> 32 as well as the
characters with special meaning in LDAP filters "*", "(", ")",
and "\" the backslash are converted into the representation
of a backslash followed by two hex digits representing the
hexadecimal value of the character.
Returns the converted list in list mode and the first element
in scalar mode.

=item unescape_filter_value ( VALUES )
Undoes the conversion done by B<escape_filter_value()>.
Converts any sequences of a backslash followed by two hex digits

Returns the converted list in list mode and the first element
in scalar mode.

}
=item escape_dn_value ( VALUES )
Escapes the given B<VALUES> according to RFC 4514 so that they
can be safely used in LDAP DNs.
The characters ",", "+", """, "\", "E<lt>", "E<gt>", ";", "#", "=" with
a special meaning in section 2.4 of RFC 4514 are preceded by a backslash.
Control characters with an ASCII code E<lt> 32 are represented
as \hexpair.
Finally all leading and trailing spaces are converted to
sequences of \20.
Returns the converted list in list mode and the first element
in scalar mode.

}
=item unescape_dn_value ( VALUES )
Undoes the conversion done by B<escape_dn_value()>.
Any escape sequence starting with a baskslash - hexpair or
special character - will be transformed back to the
corresponding character.
Returns the converted list in list mode and the first element
in scalar mode.

=item ldap_url_parse ( LDAP-URL [, OPTIONS ] )
Parse an B<LDAP-URL> conforming to RFC 4516 into a hash containing its elements.
For easy cooperation with LDAP queries, the hash keys for the elements
used in LDAP search operations are named after the parameters to
L<Net::LDAP/search>.
In extension to RFC 4516, the socket path for URLs with the scheme C<ldapi>
will be stored in the hash key named C<path>.
If any element is omitted, the result depends on the setting of the option
C<defaults>.
B<OPTIONS> is a list of key/value pairs with the following keys recognized:
=over 4
=item defaults
A boolean option that determines whether default values according to RFC 4516
shall be returned for missing URL elements.
If set to TRUE, default values are returned, with C<ldap_url_parse>
using the following defaults in extension to RFC 4516.
=over 4
=item *
The default port for C<ldaps> URLs is C<636>.
=item *
The default path for C<ldapi> URLs is the contents of the environment variable
C<LDAPI_SOCK>. If that is not defined or empty, then C</var/run/ldapi> is used.
This is consistent with the behaviour of L<Net::LDAP/new>.
=item *
The default C<host> name for C<ldap> and C<ldaps> URLs is C<localhost>.
=back
When set to FALSE, no default values are used.
This leaves all keys in th resulting hash undefined where the corresponding
URL element is empty.
To distinguish between an empty base DN and an undefined base DN,
C<ldap_parse_url> uses the slash between the host:port resp. path
part of the URL and the base DN part of the URL.
With the slash present, the hash key C<base> is set to the empty string,
without it, it is left undefined.
Leaving away the C<defaults> option entirely is equivalent to setting it to TRUE.
=back
Returns the hash in list mode, or the reference to the hash in scalar mode.

=item generalizedTime_to_time ( GENERALIZEDTIME )
Convert the generalizedTime string B<GENERALIZEDTIME>, which is expected
to match the template C<YYYYmmddHH[MM[SS]][(./,)d...](Z|(+/-)HH[MM])>
to a floating point number compatible with UNIX time
(i.e. the integral part of the number is a UNIX time).
Returns an extended UNIX time or C<undef> on error.
Times in years smaller than 1000 will lead to C<undef> being returned.
This restriction is a direct effect of the year value interpretation rules
in Time::Local.
B<Note:> this function depends on Perl's implementation of time and Time::Local.
