in limits.c you'll find limits_check(),
which sets the search operation's fields
related to size and time limits in the
usual sense, plus the ors_limit field
with more detailed info on the limts
that apply to that search.
Remember: if op->ors_limit is NULL, then
the search is issued by that backend's
rootdn, otherwise a regular search with
appropriate limits is being considered.
The helper returns 0 in case of success,
or -1 in case LDAP_ADMINLIMIT_EXCEEDED
has already been returned to the caller.
