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.
74 \note the data is null (0x00) terminated, but the length does not
75 include the terminator.
