+;;; Commentary:
+;;    This file provides mid-level and user-level functions to access directory
+;;    servers using the LDAP protocol (RFC 1777). 
+
+;;; Installation:
+;;    LDAP support must have been built into XEmacs.
+
+
+;;; Code:
+
+(require 'ldap-internal)
+
+(defvar ldap-host-parameters-alist nil
+  "An alist describing per host options to use for LDAP transactions
+The list has the form ((HOST OPTION OPTION ...) (HOST OPTION OPTION ...))
+HOST is the name of an LDAP server. OPTIONs are cons cells describing
+parameters for the server.  Valid options are:
+ (binddn . BINDDN)
+ (passwd . PASSWD)
+ (auth . AUTH)
+ (base . BASE)
+ (scope . SCOPE)
+ (deref . DEREF)
+ (timelimit . TL)
+ (sizelimit . SL))
+BINDDN is the distinguished name of the user to bind as (in RFC 1779 syntax).
+PASSWD is the password to use for simple authentication.
+AUTH is the authentication method to use, possible values are:
+`simple', `krbv41' and `krbv42'.
+BASE is the base for the search as described in RFC 1779.
+SCOPE is one of the three symbols `subtree', `base' or `onelevel'.
+DEREF is one of the symbols `never', `always', `search' or `find'.
+TL is the timeout limit for the connection in seconds.
+SL is the maximum number of matches to return." )
+
+
+(defun ldap-search (filter &optional host attributes attrsonly)
+  "Perform an LDAP search.
+FILTER is the search filter in RFC1558 syntax
+HOST is the LDAP host on which to perform the search
+ATTRIBUTES is the specific attributes to retrieve, nil means 
+retrieve all
+ATTRSONLY if non nil retrieves the attributes only without 
+the associated values.
+Additional search parameters can be specified through 
+`ldap-host-parameters-alist' which see."
