		<title>Overview</title>
		<para>
		The LDAP module API can be used by other &kamailio; modules to implement
		LDAP search functionality. This frees the module implementer from having
		to care about LDAP connection management and configuration.
		</para>
		<para>
		In order to use this API, a module has to load the API using the <varname>load_ldap_api</varname>
		function which returns a pointer to a <varname>ldap_api</varname> structure. This structure
		includes pointers to the API functions described below. The LDAP module source file
		<varname>api.h</varname> includes all declarations needed to load the API, it has to
		be included in the file that use the API. Loading the API is typically done inside a
		module's <varname>mod_init</varname> call as the following example shows:
			<example>
				<title>Example code fragment to load LDAP module API</title>
				<programlisting><![CDATA[
#include "../../sr_module.h"
#include "../ldap/api.h"

/*
 * global pointer to ldap api
 */
extern ldap_api_t ldap_api;

...

static int mod_init(void)
{
    /*
     * load the LDAP API
     */
    if (load_ldap_api(&ldap_api) != 0)
    {
        LM_ERR("Unable to load LDAP API - this module requires ldap module\n");
        return -1;
    }

    ...
}

...
]]>
				</programlisting>
			</example>
		</para>
		<para>
			The API functions can then be used like in the following example:
			<example>
				<title>Example LDAP module API function call</title>
				<programlisting><![CDATA[
...

    rc = ldap_api.ldap_rfc4515_escape(str1, str2, 0);

...
