+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I ldapdelete
+is a shell-accessible interface to the
+.BR ldap_delete_ext (3)
+library call.
+.LP
+.B ldapdelete
+opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and deletes one or more
+entries.  If one or more \fIDN\fP arguments are provided, entries with
+those Distinguished Names are deleted.  Each \fIDN\fP should be provided
+using the LDAPv3 string representation as defined in RFC 4514.
+If no \fIDN\fP arguments
+are provided, a list of DNs is read from standard input (or from
+\fIfile\fP if the \fB\-f\fP flag is used).
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR \-V [ V ]
+Print version info.
+If \fB\-VV\fP is given, only the version information is printed.
+.TP
+.BI \-d \ debuglevel
+Set the LDAP debugging level to \fIdebuglevel\fP.
+.B ldapdelete
+must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
+.TP
+.B \-n
+Show what would be done, but don't actually delete entries.  Useful for
+debugging in conjunction with \fB\-v\fP.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
+.TP
+.B \-c
+Continuous operation mode.  Errors  are  reported,  but
+.B ldapdelete
+will  continue  with  deletions.   The default is to exit after
+reporting an error.
+.TP
+.BI \-f \ file
+Read a series of DNs from \fIfile\fP, one per line, performing an
+LDAP delete for each.
+.TP
+.B \-r
+Do a recursive delete.  If the DN specified isn't a leaf, its
+children, and all their children are deleted down the tree.  No
+verification is done, so if you add this switch, ldapdelete will
+happily delete large portions of your tree.  Use with care.
+.TP
+.BI \-z \ sizelimit
+Use \fIsizelimit\fP when searching for children DN to delete,
+to circumvent any server-side size limit.  Only useful in conjunction
+with \fB\-r\fP.
+.TP
+.BR \-M [ M ]
+Enable manage DSA IT control.
+.B \-MM
+makes control critical.
+.TP
+.B \-x 
+Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
+.TP
+.BI \-D \ binddn
+Use the Distinguished Name \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the LDAP directory.
+For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.
+.TP
+.B \-W
+Prompt for simple authentication.
+This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
+.TP
+.BI \-w \ passwd
+Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password for simple authentication.
+.TP
+.BI \-y \ passwdfile
+Use complete contents of \fIpasswdfile\fP as the password for
+simple authentication.
+.TP
+.BI \-H \ ldapuri
+Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the protocol/host/port
+fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by whitespace or commas
+is expected.
+.TP
+.BR \-P \ { 2 \||\| 3 }
+Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.
+.TP
+.BR \-e \ [ ! ] \fIext\fP [ =\fIextparam\fP ]
+.TP
+.BR \-E \ [ ! ] \fIext\fP [ =\fIextparam\fP ]
+
+Specify general extensions with \fB\-e\fP and delete extensions with \fB\-E\fP.
+\'\fB!\fP\' indicates criticality.
+
+General extensions:
+.nf
+  [!]assert=<filter>    (an RFC 4515 Filter)
+  !authzid=<authzid>    ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
+  [!]bauthzid           (RFC 3829 authzid control)
+  [!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
+  [!]manageDSAit
+  [!]noop
+  ppolicy
+  [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
+  [!]preread[=<attrs>]  (a comma-separated attribute list)
+  [!]relax
+  sessiontracking[=<username>]
+  abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
+  or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
+  not really controls)
+.fi
+
+Delete extensions:
+.nf
+  (none)
+.fi
+.TP
+.BI \-o \ opt \fR[= optparam \fR]
+
+Specify any
+.BR ldap.conf (5)
+option or one of the following:
+.nf
+  nettimeout=<timeout>  (in seconds, or "none" or "max")
+  ldif_wrap=<width>     (in columns, or "no" for no wrapping)
+.fi
+
+.TP
+.BI \-O \ security-properties
+Specify SASL security properties.
+.TP
+.B \-I
+Enable SASL Interactive mode.  Always prompt.  Default is to prompt
+only as needed.
+.TP
+.B \-Q
+Enable SASL Quiet mode.  Never prompt.
+.TP
+.B \-N
+Do not use reverse DNS to canonicalize SASL host name.
+.TP
+.BI \-U \ authcid
+Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the identity depends on the
+actual SASL mechanism used.
+.TP
+.BI \-R \ realm
+Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm
+depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
+.TP
+.BI \-X \ authzid
+Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind.
+.I authzid
+must be one of the following formats:
+.BI dn: "<distinguished name>"
+or
+.BI u: <username>
+.TP
+.BI \-Y \ mech
+Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If it's not
+specified, the program will choose the best mechanism the server knows.
+.TP
+.BR \-Z [ Z ]
+Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use
+\fB\-ZZ\fP, the command will require the operation to be successful.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+The following command:
+.LP
+.nf
+    ldapdelete "cn=Delete Me,dc=example,dc=com"
+.fi
+.LP
+will attempt to delete the entry named "cn=Delete Me,dc=example,dc=com".
+Of course it would probably be necessary to supply authentication
+credentials.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+Exit status is 0 if no errors occur.  Errors result in a non-zero exit
+status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
