.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
2001-06-12 04:34:14 +08:00
|
|
|
These routines are used to control the behavior of the
|
|
|
|
|
.B experimental
|
|
|
|
|
client caching of
|
2000-08-18 12:25:00 +08:00
|
|
|
.BR ldap_search (3)
|
1998-08-09 08:43:13 +08:00
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.BR ldap_compare (3)
|
|
|
|
|
operations. By
|
|
|
|
|
default, the cache is disabled and no caching is done. Enabling the
|
|
|
|
|
cache can greatly improve performance and reduce network bandwidth when
|
|
|
|
|
a client DUA makes repeated requests.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldap_enable_cache()
|
|
|
|
|
should be called to turn on local caching or to
|
|
|
|
|
change cache parameters (lifetime of cached requests and memory used).
|
|
|
|
|
The \fIld\fP parameter should be the result of a successful call to
|
|
|
|
|
.BR ldap_open (3).
|
|
|
|
|
The \fItimeout\fP is specified in seconds, and is used to
|
|
|
|
|
decide how long to keep cached requests. The \fImaxmem\fP value is in
|
|
|
|
|
bytes, and is used to set an upper bound on how memory the cache will
|
|
|
|
|
use. You can specify 0 for \fImaxmem\fP to restrict the cache size by
|
|
|
|
|
the \fItimeout\fP only. The first call to ldap_enable_cache creates
|
|
|
|
|
the cache; subsequent calls re-enable the cache and set the timeout and
|
|
|
|
|
memory values.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldap_disable_cache()
|
|
|
|
|
temporarily disables use of the cache (new
|
|
|
|
|
requests are not cached and the cache is not checked when returning
|
|
|
|
|
results). It does not delete the cache contents.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldap_destroy_cache()
|
|
|
|
|
turns off caching and completely removes the cache from memory.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldap_flush_cache()
|
|
|
|
|
deletes the cache contents, but does not effect it in any other way.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldap_uncache_entry()
|
|
|
|
|
removes all requests that make reference to the
|
|
|
|
|
distinguished name \fIdn\fP from the cache. It should be used, for
|
|
|
|
|
example, after doing an
|
|
|
|
|
.BR ldap_modify (3)
|
|
|
|
|
call involving \fIdn\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldap_uncache_request()
|
|
|
|
|
removes the request indicated by the LDAP request
|
|
|
|
|
id \fImsgid\fP from the cache.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldap_set_cache_options()
|
|
|
|
|
is used to change caching behavior. The current supported options are
|
|
|
|
|
.B LDAP_CACHE_OPT_CACHENOERRS
|
|
|
|
|
to suppress caching of any requests that result in an error, and
|
|
|
|
|
.B LDAP_CACHE_OPT_CACHEALLERRS
|
|
|
|
|
to enable caching of all requests. The default behavior is to not
|
|
|
|
|
cache requests that result in errors, except that request that result
|
|
|
|
|
in the error
|
|
|
|
|
.B LDAP_SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED
|
|
|
|
|
are cached.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldap_enable_cache()
|
|
|
|
|
returns 0 upon success, and -1 if it is unable to
|
|
|
|
|
allocate space for the cache. All the other calls are declared as
|
|
|
|
|
void and return nothing.
