41 major restrictions as compared to normal LDAP:
43 - no async calls.
44 - each record must have a unique key field
45 - the key must be representable as a NULL terminated C string and may not
46 contain a comma or braces
48 major restrictions as compared to tdb:
50 - no explicit locking calls
55 an individual lump of data in a result comes in this format. The
56 pointer will usually be to a UTF-8 string if the application is
57 sensible, but it can be to anything you like, including binary data
