module Net
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 Synmbols,
  # 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.
  class Entry

    # because this one and not the other one gets called
    # in formulations like entry["CN"] << cn.

    # Calls a user-supplied block with each attribute in turn,

    # the name of the attribute, and a (possibly empty)
    # Array of data values.

    # Convenience method to convert unknown method names
    # to attribute references. Of course the method name
    # comes to us as a symbol, so let's save a little time
    # and not bother with the to_s.downcase two-step.
    # Of course that means that a method name like mAIL
    # won't work, but we shouldn't be encouraging that
    # kind of bad behavior in the first place.
    # Maybe we should thow something if the caller sends
    # arguments or a block...
