simple paged results control

The simple paged results control is a type of control that can be attached to a search operation to indicate that only a subset of the results should be returned. It may be used to iterate through the search results a page at a time. It is similar to the virtual list view control with the exception that it doesn't require the results to be sorted and can only be used to iterate sequentially through the search results.

The simple paged results control is defined in RFC 2696. The same control is used in both the search request and search result done messages. It has an object identifier of 1.2.840.113556.1.4.319, and the value is encoded as follows:

realSearchControlValue ::= SEQUENCE {
     size            INTEGER (0..maxInt),
                             -- requested page size from client
                             -- result set size estimate from server
     cookie          OCTET STRING
}

For an example of using this control in a search request, see To Search Using the Simple Paged Results Control in Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.2 Administration Guide.
