It is supposed to be used on modify operations, RFC4527:

   The Post-Read request control is a LDAP Control [RFC4511] whose
   controlType is 1.3.6.1.1.13.2 and whose controlValue, an OCTET
   STRING, contains a BER-encoded AttributeSelection [RFC4511], as
   extended by [RFC3673].  The criticality may be TRUE or FALSE.  This
   control is appropriate for the addRequest, modifyRequest, and
   modDNRequest LDAP messages.
