The OM_value_length data type is used to indicate the number of bits, octets, or characters in a string. Its C declaration is as follows:
typedef OM_uint32 OM_value_length;
A data value of this data type is an integer in the range 0 to 2-to-the-32nd-power that represents the number of bits in a bit string, octets in an octet string, or characters in a character string.
Note: This data type is not used in the definition of the interface. It is provided for use by client programmers for defining attribute constraints.
