 *
 * #Slapi_PBlock contains name-value pairs that you can use to retrieve information
 * from the server and set information to be used by the server.
 *
 * For most types of plug-in functions, the server passes in a #Slapi_PBlock
 * structure that typically includes data relevant to the operation being processed.
 * You can get the value of a parameter by calling the slapi_pblock_get() function.
 *
 * For example, when the plug-in function for an LDAP bind operation is called, the
 * server puts the DN and credentials in the #SLAPI_BIND_TARGET and
 * #SLAPI_BIND_CREDENTIALS parameters of the Slapi_PBlock structure. You can
 * call slapi_pblock_get() to get the DN and credentials of the client requesting
 * authentication.
 *
 * For plug-in initialization functions, you can use the #Slapi_PBlock structure to
 * pass information to the server, such as the description of your plug-in and the
 * names of your plug-in functions. You can set the value of a parameter by calling
 * the slapi_pblock_set() function.
 *
 * For example, in order to register a pre-operation bind plug-in function, you need to
 * call slapi_pblock_set() to set the version number, description, and name of the
 * plug-in function as the #SLAPI_PLUGIN_VERSION, #SLAPI_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION,
 * and #SLAPI_PLUGIN_PRE_BIND_FN parameters.
 *
