60.2.3 The Low-Level LDAP API

The low-level API should be used directly for very specific purposes (such as multiple operations on a connection) only. The higher-level functions provide a more convenient way to access LDAP directories hiding the subtleties of handling the connection, translating arguments and ensuring compliance with LDAP internationalization rules and formats (currently partly implemented only). See see The High-Level LDAP API

Note that the former functions ldap-*-internal functions have been renamed in SXEmacs 22.1
