Check if Ldap connection is live

[Ramya Krishnan <ramya_krishnan@sifycorp.com>]

I have a daemon that maintains connection to the LDAP server. If now the 
slapd is restarted then the existing connections are rendered useless. 
Is there a function (API) that checks the status of the connection 
(something similar to MYSQL_PING)

Thanks and Regards
