Represents information used for a computed attribute.

Syntax

typedef struct _computed_attr_context computed_attr_context;

Description

This type is reserved for future use.

computed_attr_context is the data type for an opaque structure that represents information about a computed attribute.

Before the Netscape Directory Server sends an entry back to a client, it determines if any of the attributes are computed, generates the attributes, and includes the generated attributes in the entry.

As part of this process, the server creates a computed_attr_context structure to pass relevant information to the functions generating the attribute values. (Relevant information might include the attribute type, the BER-encoded request so far, and the parameter block).
