ldap_add_ext_s

This function initiates a synchronous add operation to a tree. For an add operation to succeed, the parent of the entry being added must already exist or the parent must be empty (equal to the distinguished name of the root).

ldap_add_s

This function initiates a synchronous add operation that adds an entry to a tree. The parent of the entry being added must already exist or the parent must be empty (equal to the root distinguished name) for an add operation to succeed.
