It's a string of the entities that are inside the BSP file. It's a very large string (technically up to 2MB, but usually below 500KB), so you'll need #pragma dynamic, and then explode on "\n" and read each line.

I think the parameters "char const *pOldLevel, char const *pLandmarkName, bool loadGame, bool background" what be also interesting to have in the hook.

For some reason pOldLevel and pLandmarkName were always NULL, I don't know what loadGame is for, and I can't imagine any map on a dedicated server ever being a background, so it didn't seem useful to me to pass those too.

And do you have examples what could be done with the SetTransmit() hook ? Why would I not let it send an entity to a player ?

Basically when you don't want a specific player to see that entity
For example, when you parent an entity to someone's head, it floats in front of their view. With a SetTransmit hook you can hide it from the owner, while still allowing other players to see it.
