For specific details, please see +.BR slapindex (8). +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BI \-b \ suffix +Use the specified \fIsuffix\fR to determine which database to +add entries to. The \fB\-b\fP cannot be used in conjunction +with the +.B \-n +option. +.TP +.B \-c +enable continue (ignore errors) mode. +.TP +.BI \-d \ debug-level +enable debugging messages as defined by the specified +.IR debug-level ; +see +.BR slapd (8) +for details. +.TP +.BI \-f \ slapd.conf +specify an alternative +.BR slapd.conf (5) +file. +.TP +.BI \-F \ confdir +specify a config directory. +If both +.B \-f +and +.B \-F +are specified, the config file will be read and converted to +config directory format and written to the specified directory. +If neither option is specified, an attempt to read the +default config directory will be made before trying to use the default +config file. If a valid config directory exists then the +default config file is ignored. If dry-run mode is also specified, +no conversion will occur. +.TP +.B \-g +disable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database will be +processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any). +.TP +.BI \-j \ lineno +Jump to the specified line number in the LDIF file before processing +any entries. This allows a modification that was aborted due to errors in the +input LDIF to be resumed after the errors are corrected. +.TP +.BI \-l \ ldif-file +Read LDIF from the specified file instead of standard input. +.TP +.BI \-n \ dbnum +Perform changes on the \fIdbnum\fR-th database listed in the +configuration file. The +.B \-n +cannot be used in conjunction with the +.B \-b +option. +To manipulate the config database +.BR slapd\-config (5), +use +.B \-n 0 +as it is always the first database. It must physically exist +on the filesystem prior to this, however. +.TP +.BI \-o \ option\fR[ = value\fR] +Specify an +.I option +with a(n optional) +.IR value . +Possible generic options/values are: +.LP +.nf + syslog=<subsystems> (see `\-s' in slapd(8)) + syslog\-level=<level> (see `\-S' in slapd(8)) + syslog\-user=<user> (see `\-l' in slapd(8)) + + schema-check={yes|no} + value-check={yes|no} + +.in +The \fIschema\-check\fR option toggles schema checking (default on); +the \fIvalue\-check\fR option toggles value checking (default off). +The latter is incompatible with \fB-q\fR. +.TP +.B \-q +enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode. Does fewer consistency checks +on the input data, and no consistency checks when writing the database. +Improves the run time but if any errors or interruptions occur the resulting +database will be unusable. +.TP +.B \-s +disable schema checking. This option is intended to be used when +manipulating databases containing special objects, such as fractional +objects on a partial replica. Creating normal objects which do not +conform to schema may result in unexpected and ill behavior. +.TP +.BI \-S \ SID +Server ID to use in generated entryCSN. Also used for contextCSN +if \fB\-w\fP is set as well. Defaults to \fB0\fP. +.TP +.B \-u +enable dry-run (don't write to backend) mode. +.TP +.B \-v +enable verbose mode. +.TP +.BI \-w +write syncrepl context information. +After all entries are added, the contextCSN +will be updated with the greatest CSN in the database. +.SH LIMITATIONS +Your +.BR slapd (8) +should not be running +when you do this to ensure consistency of the database. +.LP +Not all backends support all types of modification, \fImodrdn\fR +changetype in particular is not implemented for any of the current +backends. +.LP +.B slapmodify +may not provide naming or schema checks. It is advisable to +use +.BR ldapmodify (1) +when possible. +.SH EXAMPLES +To make modifications specified in file +.B ldif +into your +.BR slapd (8) +database give the command: +.LP +.nf +.ft tt + SBINDIR/slapmodify \-l ldif +.ft +.fi +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR ldap (3), +.BR ldif (5), +.BR slapcat (8), +.BR slapadd (8), +.BR slapindex (8), +.BR ldapmodify (1), +.BR slapd (8) +.LP +"OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" (http://www.OpenLDAP.org/doc/admin/) +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project |
