-While deprecated,
-these interfaces generally remain in the library.  The macro
-LDAP_DEPRECATED can be defined to a non-zero value
-(e.g., -DLDAP_DEPRECATED=1) when compiling program designed to use
-deprecated interaces.  It is recommended that developers writing new
-programs, or updating old programs, avoid use of deprecated interfaces.
-Over time, it is expected that documentation (and, eventually, support) for
-deprecated interfaces to be eliminated.
