[erlang-questions] eldap:search result

[John R. Ashmun]

I offer this approach:

{ok, Result} = eldap:search(S, Search),
eldap:close(S),
{eldap_search_result, [{_, _, [{"status", [Status]}]}], []} = Result,

& at this point, Status =:= "available", if I have successfully
balanced the brackets and braces.  You may wish also to match 'eldap_entry'
in your assignment.

Regards,
John R. Ashmun
