52.4. Entry Plug-ins
The parameters listed below are used for entry store and entry fetch plug-in functions. These plug-in functions are called by the server before writing an entry to disk and after reading an entry from disk. Entry store and entry fetch plug-in functions are passed using the string representation (in LDIF) of the entry.
Note
The Directory Server caches recently added and retrieved entries in memory. The entry fetch plug-in function is called only when reading the entry from the disk, not when reading the entry from the cache.
| Parameter ID | Description |
|---|---|
SLAPI_PLUGIN_ENTRY_FETCH_FUNC | This function fetches information that represents an LDAP entry. |
SLAPI_PLUGIN_ENTRY_STORE_FUNC | This function stores information about an entry that was fetched by the SLAPI_PLUGIN_ENTRY_FETCH_FUNC function. |
