+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+The function \fBldap_modify_s()\fR is used to perform an LDAP modify operation.
+\fIdn\fR is the DN of the entry to modify, and \fImods\fR is a null-terminated
+array of modifications to make to the entry. Each element of the \fImods\fR
+array is a pointer to an \fBLDAPMod\fR structure, which is defined below.
+.sp
+.in +2
+.nf
+ typedef struct ldapmod {
+ int mod_op;
+ char *mod_type;
+ union {
+ char **modv_strvals;
+ struct berval **modv_bvals;
+ } mod_vals;
+ } LDAPMod;
+ #define mod_values mod_vals.modv_strvals
+ #define mod_bvalues mod_vals.modv_bvals
+.fi
+.in -2
+
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fImod_op\fR field is used to specify the type of modification to perform
+and should be one of \fBLDAP_MOD_ADD\fR, \fBLDAP_MOD_DELETE\fR, or
+\fBLDAP_MOD_REPLACE\fR. The \fImod_type\fR and \fImod_values\fR fields specify
+the attribute type to modify and a null-terminated array of values to add,
+delete, or replace respectively.
+.sp
+.LP
+If you need to specify a non-string value (for example, to add a photo or audio
+attribute value), you should set \fImod_op\fR to the logical OR of the
+operation as above (for example, \fBLDAP_MOD_REPLACE\fR) and the constant
+\fBLDAP_MOD_BVALUES\fR. In this case, \fImod_bvalues\fR should be used instead
+of \fImod_values\fR, and it should point to a null-terminated array of struct
+bervals, as defined in <\fBlber.h\fR>.
+.sp
+.LP
+For \fBLDAP_MOD_ADD\fR modifications, the given values are added to the entry,
+creating the attribute if necessary. For \fBLDAP_MOD_DELETE\fR modifications,
+the given values are deleted from the entry, removing the attribute if no
+values remain. If the entire attribute is to be deleted, the \fImod_values\fR
+field should be set to NULL. For \fBLDAP_MOD_REPLACE\fR modifications, the
+attribute will have the listed values after the modification, having been
+created if necessary. All modifications are performed in the order in which
+they are listed.
+.sp
+.LP
+\fBldap_modify_s()\fR returns the LDAP error code resulting from the modify
+operation.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBldap_modify()\fR operation works the same way as \fBldap_modify_s()\fR,
+except that it is asynchronous, returning the message id of the request it
+initiates, or \fB\(mi1\fR on error. The result of the operation can be
+obtained by calling \fBldap_result\fR(3LDAP).
+.sp
+.LP
+\fBldap_mods_free()\fR can be used to free each element of a null-terminated
+array of mod structures. If \fIfreemods\fR is non-zero, the \fImods\fR pointer
+itself is freed as well.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBldap_modify_ext()\fR function initiates an asynchronous modify
+operation and returns \fBLDAP_SUCCESS\fR if the request was successfully sent
+to the server, or else it returns a LDAP error code if not. See
+\fBldap_error\fR(3LDAP). If successful, \fBldap_modify_ext()\fR places the
+message id of the request in \fI*msgidp\fR. A subsequent call to
+\fBldap_result\fR(3LDAP), can be used to obtain the result of the add request.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBldap_modify_ext_s()\fR function initiates a synchronous modify
+operation and returns the result of the operation itself.
+.SH ERRORS
+.sp
+.LP
+\fBldap_modify_s()\fR returns an LDAP error code, either \fBLDAP_SUCCESS\fR or
+an error. See \fBldap_error\fR(3LDAP).
+.sp
+.LP
+\fBldap_modify()\fR returns \fB\(mi1\fR in case of trouble, setting the
+\fBerror\fR field of \fIld\fR.
