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 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.

# We have to deal with this one as we do with []=
# because this one and not the other one gets called
# in formulations like entry["CN"] << cn.

# Returns an array of the attribute names present in the Entry.

# Accesses each of the attributes present in the Entry.

# passing two arguments to the block: a Symbol giving
# 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...
