.TH LDIF 8C "22 September 1998" "OpenLDAP LDVERSION"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
ldif \- convert arbitrary data to LDIF format
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B SBINDIR/ldif [\-b] attr\-name
|
|
.LP
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
This program is used to convert arbitrary data to the
|
|
LDAP Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) described in
|
|
.BR ldif (5).
|
|
.B ldif
|
|
reads data from standard input, converts it,
|
|
and writes the corresponding LDIF output to standard output.
|
|
The output is suitable for use as a line in an
|
|
.BR ldif (5)
|
|
file.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Without the
|
|
.B \-b
|
|
flag,
|
|
.B ldif
|
|
considers its input a sequence of values to be
|
|
converted, one per line. With the
|
|
.B \-b
|
|
flag,
|
|
.B ldif
|
|
considers its input as a single raw binary value to be
|
|
converted. This can be useful when converting binary data
|
|
such as a photo or audio attribute.
|
|
.LP
|
|
See "The SLAPD and SLURPD Administrator's Guide" for more details on
|
|
using this program.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-b
|
|
This option specifies that
|
|
.B ldif
|
|
should interpret its input as a single binary value for conversion.
|
|
Otherwise, it interprets it as a sequence of lines, with each line
|
|
containing a single value.
