.TH LDBMCAT 8C "22 September 1998" "OpenLDAP LDVERSION"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
ldbmcat \- LDBM to LDIF database format conversion utility
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B SBINDIR/ldbmcat [\-n] id2entry\-file
|
|
.LP
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
This program is used to convert a
|
|
.BR slapd (8)
|
|
LDBM database to the text LDAP Directory Interchange Format (LDIF).
|
|
It opens the given
|
|
.I id2entry\-file
|
|
and writes the corresponding LDIF output to standard output.
|
|
.LP
|
|
See "The SLAPD and SLURPD Administrator's Guide" for more details on
|
|
using this program.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
This option specifies that
|
|
.B ldbmcat
|
|
should not print entry IDs when it dumps out the database. Note
|
|
that the printing of entry IDs is essential if you are going to
|
|
use the LDIF format produced as input to
|
|
.B ldif2index,
|
|
for example, to create a new index file for use with an existing
|
|
database.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
To make a text backup of your LDBM database and put it in a file called
|
|
.BR ldif ,
|
|
give the command:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft tt
|
|
SBINDIR/ldbmcat -n id2entry.dbb > ldif
|
|
.ft
|
|
.fi
|
|
.LP
|
|
To create a new index for the
|
|
.B mail
|
|
attribute, give these commands:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft tt
|
|
SBINDIR/ldbmcat id2entry.dbb > ldif
|
|
SBINDIR/ldif2index -i ldif -f slapd-config-file mail
|
|
.ft
|
|
.fi
|
|
.LP
|
|
Note that your
|
|
.B slapd (8)
|
|
should not be running (at least, not in read-write
|
|
mode) when you do this to ensure consistency of the database.
