Gtk2::Net::LDAP::Widgets::DistinguishedName - helper class for DN processing

    This class is mostly used by other components to analyze and process LDAP 
    Distinguished Names and isn't meant to be used directly. Read the source in 
    case of any needs to do that.

isDescendant ( possible_ancestor )

Checks whether this DN is a child of another DN (possible_ancestor).

possible_ancestor a distinguished name being tested for ancestorness in relation to current DN :)

getRdn ( possible_ancestor )

Returns the RDN of this DN in relation to a potential ancestor's DN ( the possible_ancestor argument). If the possible_ancestor isn't an ancestor in fact, the returned RDN will be empty.

possible_ancestor a distinguished name of potential ancestor

getLength ( )

Returns the count of RDN components that this DN consists of.

compareTo ( )

Compares this DN and another DN using normalized forms of both. Return values meanings are the same as with the "eq" Perl operator.
