Notices

NWDSGetCountByClassAndName is similar to NWDSListByClassAndName except no information, other than a count of objects, is returned by NWDSGetCountByClassAndName.

The location of the subordinate object(s) in the Directory tree is immediately subordinate to the object specified by objectName. It is not relative to the current name context in the Directory context specified by context.

The relationship between className and subordinateName is an AND relationship.

When className and subordinateName are provided, a count of immediate subordinate objects restricted by both filters is returned.

When className is NULL and subordinateName is NULL, the count of all immediate subordinates is returned.

When className is provided and subordinateName is NULL, the count of immediate subordinates restricted only by className's filter is returned.

When subordinateName is provided and className is NULL, the count of immediate subordinates restricted only by subordinateName is returned.

The following examples show how to use wildcards for untyped names:

c*
Any object whose left-most name begins with a ``c'' character.

M*y
Any object beginning with ``M'' and ending with``y'' such as Mary.
If the wildcard name specified for subordinateName includes a type, such as ``CN,'' the name must include the equals (=) sign. The following examples show how to use wildcards for typed names:

cn=*
Any object whose left-most name is a common name.

cn=c*
Any object whose left-most name is a common name and begin with ``c.''

o*=*
Any object whose naming attribute is of a type beginning with an ``o,'' such as O or OU.

o*=c*
Any object whose left-most name is of a type beginning with an ``o,'' and whose name begins with ``c.''
