Description		This specification defines an application programming interface (API) to X/Open Directory Services (XDS) and is intended for operational interactions with a directory rather than management interactions. The interface offers services that are consistent with, but not limited to, those defined in the 1988 CCITT X.500 Series of Recommendations and the ISO 9594 standard.
Usage		This is the first issue of the specification. Issue 2 (C317) and Issue 3 (C608) have now been published. All new implementation work by API providers should be based on Issue 3.
