General Catching

catchLDAP :: IO a -> (LDAPException -> IO a) -> IO a

Execute the given IO action.

If it raises a LDAPException, then execute the supplied handler and return its return value. Otherwise, process as normal.

handleLDAP :: (LDAPException -> IO a) -> IO a -> IO a

Like catchLDAP, with the order of arguments reversed.

failLDAP :: IO a -> IO a

Catches LDAP errors, and re-raises them as IO errors with fail. Useful if you don't care to catch LDAP errors, but want to see a sane error message if one happens. One would often use this as a high-level wrapper around LDAP calls.
