Instructions for Open LDAP library?

[Martin van den Nieuwelaar <martin@rawl.co.nz>]

Hi People,

I'm writing an application using Qt and wish to use the openldap library 
within my program to query an LDAP server.  I have been searching for 
instructions on using the library from a client point of view but have 
not been successful.  I tried using the man pages and I think I'm part 
way there but have reached an impasse on the correct way (or any way at 
all for that matter) to extract the results from an LDAPMessage *.  I 
have an example search working using the command line program 
ldap_search, so the next thought is to look at the source for 
ldap_search and see what calls it makes to figure things out.  This 
somehow seems like the wrong way to be going about things however.

Is there something equivalent for openldap to the documentation for 
libcurl, https://ec.haxx.se/libcurl-easyhandle.html ?  If there is that 
would be brilliant.

I also tried searching for 3rd party howtos and tutorials and there are 
a few of those but invariably they use now deprecated library calls.

Regards,

-Martin
