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 # values. 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. class Entry # This constructor is not generally called by user code. #-- # Originally, myhash took a block so we wouldn't have to # make sure its elements returned empty arrays when necessary. # Got rid of that to enable marshalling of Entry objects, # but that doesn't work anyway, because Entry objects have # singleton methods.
