.LP
The
.B ldap_compare_ext()
routine allows server and client controls to be
specified to extend the compare request. This routine is asynchronous like
ldap_compare(), but its return value is an LDAP error code. It stores the
message id of the request in the integer pointed to by msgidp.

The
.B ldap_compare_ext_s()
routine is the synchronous version of
.BR ldap_compare_ext().
It also returns an LDAP error code indicating success

return some Non-zero value other than 0x05 or 0x06 in case of failure.
0x05 corresponds to LDAP_COMPARE_FALSE and 0x06 corresponds to LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE.
.SH BUGS
