class LDAP


  # Objects of this class represent individual entries in an LDAP
  # directory. User code generally does not instantiate this class.
  # Net::LDAP#search provides objects of this class to user code,
  # either as block parameters or as return values.
  #
  # In LDAP-land, an "entry" is a collection of attributes that are
  # uniquely and globally identified by a DN ("Distinguished Name").
  # Attributes are identified by short, descriptive words or phrases.
  # Although a directory is
  # free to implement any attribute name, most of them follow rigorous
  # standards so that the range of commonly-encountered attribute
  # names is not large.
  #
  # An attribute name is case-insensitive. Most directories also
  # restrict the range of characters allowed in attribute names.
  # To simplify handling attribute names, Net::LDAP::Entry
  # internally converts them to a standard format. Therefore, the
  # methods which take attribute names can take Strings or Symbols,
  # and work correctly regardless of case or capitalization.
  #
  # An attribute consists of zero or more data items called
  # <i>values.</i> An entry is the combination of a unique DN, a set of attribute
  # names, and a (possibly-empty) array of values for each attribute.
  #
  # Class Net::LDAP::Entry provides convenience methods for dealing
  # with LDAP entries.
  # In addition to the methods documented below, you may access individual
  # attributes of an entry simply by giving the attribute name as
  # the name of a method call. For example:
  #  ldap.search( ... ) do |entry|
  #    puts "Common name: #{entry.cn}"
  #    puts "Email addresses:"
  #      entry.mail.each {|ma| puts ma}
  #  end
  # If you use this technique to access an attribute that is not present
  # in a particular Entry object, a NoMethodError exception will be raised.
  #
  #--
  # Ugly problem to fix someday: We key off the internal hash with
  # a canonical form of the attribute name: convert to a string,
  # downcase, then take the symbol. Unfortunately we do this in
  # at least three places. Should do it in ONE place.

    # Originally, myhash took a block so we wouldn't have to

    # singleton methods. So we define a custom dump and load.

    # TODO, doesn't support broken lines.
    # It generates a SINGLE Entry object from an incoming LDIF stream
    # which is of course useless for big LDIF streams that encode
    # many objects.
    # DO NOT DOCUMENT THIS METHOD UNTIL THESE RESTRICTIONS ARE LIFTED.
    # As it is, it's useful for unmarshalling objects that we create,
    # but not for reading arbitrary LDIF files.
    # Eventually, we should have a class method that parses large LDIF
    # streams into individual LDIF blocks (delimited by blank lines)
    # and passes them here.
    #
    # There is one oddity, noticed by Matthias Tarasiewicz: as originally
    # written, this code would return an Entry object in which the DN
    # attribute consisted of a two-element array, and the first element was
    # nil. That's because Entry#initialize doesn't like to create an object
    # without a DN attribute so it adds one: nil. The workaround here is
    # to wipe out the nil DN after creating the Entry object, and trust the
    # LDIF string to fill it in. If it doesn't we return a nil at the end.
