I think you already complained about this in past postings.  I don't 
think the situation improved in a few days, given that no one is working 
on that API, AFAIK.  Feel free to improve it.

Since the API is 2 real functions and a bunch of related helpers, 
tightly related to each other, it seemed appropriate to concentrate them 
in a single page, which is common practice (see ldap_search(3), 
ldap_bind(3), ...).  However, feel free to split it in multiple pages if 
you consider it more appropriate.

See 
<http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200704/msg00053.html> 
for discussion on the cause of that error.
