   Reads attributes and values from an entry in the search result.

  <para>
   Having located a specific entry in the directory, you can find out what
   information is held for that entry by using this call. You would use this
   call for an application which "browses" directory entries and/or where you
   do not know the structure of the directory entries. In many applications
   you will be searching for a specific attribute such as an email address or
   a surname, and won't care what other data is held.

return_value["count"] = number of attributes in the entry
return_value[0] = first attribute
return_value[n] = nth attribute

return_value["attribute"]["count"] = number of values for attribute
return_value["attribute"][0] = first value of the attribute
return_value["attribute"][i] = (i+1)th value of the attribute
