The following fragment declares an example routine, show_server_info, that prints the contents of a directory object as text.
The code uses a static array, AttributesToDisplay, that lists the attribute types (as OID strings) for the attributes whose values should be retrieved, in the order that they should be printed.
For each row in AttributesToDisplay, the example retrieves the values for the attribute type (if any) and prints them.
/*
** AttributesToDisplay is a read-only static array used by
** the show_server_info() function. It contains the Object
** Identifier (OID) strings for the server attributes to
** display, in the order that they are to be displayed.
