The ldap_get_dn man page has the following prototype for ldap_str2dn:

int ldap_str2dn( const char *str, LDAPDN **dn, unsigned flags )

However, ldap.h has:

LDAP_F( int )
ldap_str2dn LDAP_P((
        LDAP_CONST char *str,
        LDAPDN *dn,
        unsigned flags ));

Note the difference for the second argument.   This is related to, later in the
man page:

       typedef struct ldap_ava {
           char *la_attr;
           struct berval *la_value;
           unsigned la_flags;
       } LDAPAVA;

       typedef LDAPAVA** LDAPRDN;
       typedef LDAPRDN** LDAPDN;

but ldap.h says:

typedef struct ldap_ava {
        struct berval la_attr;
        struct berval la_value;
        unsigned la_flags;
        void *la_private;
} LDAPAVA;

typedef LDAPAVA** LDAPRDN;
typedef LDAPRDN* LDAPDN;

Note the type difference for LDAPDN (which explains the earlier varience) and
for la_attr.
