When you retrieve information from the output format for object links, you must use the entry length that the server returns in the header information format of each entry. The size of each entry may include padding at the end of the entry. If you do not use the entry length, the result may not be valid. The entry length can be used to find the next entry. The trailer entry is always the last entry.
