ldap_init() & ldap_initialize()

["samuel.osouf" <samuel.osouf@laposte.net>]

Hi

Could someone tell me the difference between
ldap_init() & ldap_initialize() ??

what's the purpose of this ldap_initialize() 
function that drafts don't mention ?
isn't  ldap_init()  sufficient, as in § 5. of 
draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api-05.txt  ?

  -->extract from /clients/tools/ldapsearch.c :

ld = ldap_init( ldaphost, ldapport );
if( ld == NULL ) {
	perror("ldapsearch: ldap_init");
	return EXIT_FAILURE;
(...)
rc = ldap_initialize( &ld, ldapuri );
if( rc != LDAP_SUCCESS ) {
	fprintf( stderr, "Could not create LDAP 
session handle (%d): %s\n",
		rc, ldap_err2string(rc) );
	return EXIT_FAILURE;


Thanks in advance for help

Sam
