berval

The berval structure is used to represent arbitrary binary data that is encoded according to Basic Encoding Rules (BER). Use a berval to represent any attribute that cannot be represented by a null-terminated string.

typedef struct berval 
{
  ULONG  bv_len;
  PCHAR  bv_val;
} LDAP_BERVAL, * PLDAP_BERVAL, BERVAL, * PBERVAL;

Members

bv_len

Length of binary data in bytes.

bv_val

A pointer to the binary data.

Remarks

Use a berval structure for attributes that contain raw binary data, such as certificates, graphics, or sound files.
