• A size of 1k if the entry is empty.
Description
When determining the size of an entry, only the sizes of the attribute values are
counted; the size of other entry values (such as the size of attribute names,
variously-normalized DNs, or any metadata) are not included in the size returned.
It is assumed that the size of the metadata et al. is well enough accounted for by the
rounding of the size to the next largest 1k (this holds true especially in larger
entries, where the actual size of the attribute values far outweighs the size of the
metadata).
Note that when determining the size of the entry, both deleted values and deleted
attributes are included in the count.
slapi_is_rootdse()
This function determines if an entry is the root DSE. The root DSE is a special entry
that contains information about the Directory Server, including its capabilities and
configuration.
