51 major restrictions as compared to normal LDAP:
54 - each record must have a unique key field
55 - the key must be representable as a NULL terminated C string and may not
56 contain a comma or braces
58 major restrictions as compared to tdb:
60 - no explicit locking calls
61 UPDATE: we have transactions now, better than locking --SSS.
69 An individual lump of data in a result comes in this format. The
70 pointer will usually be to a UTF-8 string if the application is
71 sensible, but it can be to anything you like, including binary data
72 blobs of arbitrary size.

75 include the terminator.
