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 — LDAP Data
Interchange Format) of the entry.
Parameters Accessible to All Plug-Ins
The parameters listed in this section are accessible to all types of plug-ins. The
parameters in this section are organized in the following sections:
• Information About the Database
• Information About the Connection
• Information About the Operation
• Information About Extended Operations
• Information About the Transaction
• Information About Access Control Lists
• Notes in the Access Log

reading the entry from the disk, and not when reading the entry
