RE: ldap_get/set_option in ldapext-ldap-c-api-01

[Anoop Anantha <anoopa@MICROSOFT.com>]

The accessor functions do return errors (the return type int, not void). I
don't think this fact is explicitly mentioned in the draft.

It is not possible to have non-integral values for the timelimit in the API
as the wire protocol defines the granularity in seconds.
