B.6.1 Rename Using LDAP C API

/*
 * Copyright (c) 1996.  Netscape Communications Corporation.  All

 * 
 * Modify the RDN (relative distinguished name) of an entry.  In this
 * example, we change the dn "cn=Jacques Smith, o=Ace Industry, c=US"
 * to "cn=Jacques M Smith, o=Ace Industry, c=US".
 *
 * Since it is an error to either (1) attempt to modrdn an entry which
 * does not exist, or (2) modrdn an entry where the destination name
 * already exists, we take some steps, for this example, to make sure
 * we will succeed.  We (1) add "cn=Jacques Smith" (if the entry exists,
 * we just ignore the error, and (2) delete "cn=Jacques M Smith" (if the
 * entry doesn't exist, we ignore the error).
 *
 * We pass 0 for the "deleteoldrdn" argument to ldap_modrdn2_s().  This
 * means that after we change the RDN, the server will put the value
 * "Jacques Smith" into the cn attribute of the new entry, in addition to
 * "Jacques M Smith".
