Slapi_Is_Rootdse(); Slapi_Str2Entry() - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 7.0 - PLUG-IN Manual

Functions for Managing Entries
• 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.
When determining the size of the entry, both deleted values and deleted
attributes are included in the count.
