A GETBULK request is basically a series of GETNEXT requests,
all bundled together into the one request.
So a request such as
GETBULK .... A B C D E F
might expand to the equivalent of
GETNEXT .... A B C
GETNEXT .... D E F
GETNEXT .... D.1 E.1 F.1
GETNEXT .... D.2 E.2 F.2
GETNEXT .... D.3 E.3 F.3
GETNEXT .... D.4 E.4 F.4
(or whatever the "next" objects happen to be).
The "max-repeaters" value says how many times to repeat the "D E F"
part of the request. The "non-repetitions" value says where to draw
the line between the "A B C" part of the request (which is only done
once) and the "D E F" request (which is done "max-rep" times).
So the expansion above equates to
non-reps = 3 (i.e. just one "A B C" row)
max-reps = 5 (i.e. five "D E F" based rows)
OK?
