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.

866 from the ares reply passed on by the async core so that in the end all the
867 messages will be in the context (ldb_result) memory tree.

878 \param ret_req the request structure is returned here (talloced on mem_ctx)
879 \param ldb the context associated with the database (from ldb_init())
880 \param mem_ctx a talloc emmory context (used as parent of ret_req)
881 \param base the Base Distinguished Name for the query (use ldb_dn_new() for an empty one)
882 \param scope the search scope for the query
883 \param expression the search expression to use for this query
884 \param attrs the search attributes for the query (pass NULL if none required)
885 \param controls an array of controls
886 \param context the callback function context
887 \param the callback function to handle the async replies
889 \return result code (LDB_SUCCESS on success, or a failure code)
