No, nor is one needed. A single ldap_initialize() API does everything needed 
for all LDAP session types. Requiring a separate API for each connection type 
would be stupid, and require pointless API revving when new types are added.

If you want to know how ldapsearch does a query in C, just read the ldapsearch 
source code.
