copies. Even if the attribute values are not strings, they will still be null terminated,
so that they can be used safely in a string context. If there are no values, NULL will
be returned. Because the array is NULL terminated, the usage should be similar to
the sample shown below:
char **ary = slapi_entry_attr_get_charray(e, someattr);
int ii;
for (ii = 0; ary && ary[ii]; ++ii) {
char *strval = ary[ii];
...
}
slapi_ch_array_free(ary);
Returns
This function returns one of the following values:
• A copy of all the values of the attribute.
•
NULL
