+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B ldapmodify
+is a shell-accessible interface to the
+.BR ldap_add_ext (3),
+.BR ldap_modify_ext (3),
+.BR ldap_delete_ext (3)
+and
+.BR ldap_rename (3).
+library calls.
+.B ldapadd
+is implemented as a hard link to the ldapmodify tool. When invoked as
+.B ldapadd
+the \fB\-a\fP (add new entry) flag is turned on automatically.
+.LP
+.B ldapmodify
+opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies or adds entries.
+The entry information is read from standard input or from \fIfile\fP through
+the use of the \fB\-f\fP option.
+.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 ldapmodify
+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 modify 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 \-a
+Add new entries. The default for
+.B ldapmodify
+is to modify existing entries. If invoked as
+.BR ldapadd ,
+this flag is always set.
+.TP
+.B \-c
+Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but
+.B ldapmodify
+will continue with modifications. The default is to exit after
+reporting an error.
+.TP
+.BI \-f \ file
+Read the entry modification information from \fIfile\fP instead of from
+standard input.
+.TP
+.BI \-S \ file
+Add or change records which were skipped due to an error are written to \fIfile\fP
+and the error message returned by the server is added as a comment. Most useful in
+conjunction with \fB\-c\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 modify 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
+
+Modify extensions:
+.nf
+ [!]txn[=abort|commit]
+.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 ID
+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
+.B \-ZZ\c
+, the command will require the operation to be successful.
+.SH INPUT FORMAT
+The contents of \fIfile\fP (or standard input if no \fB\-f\fP flag is given on
+the command line) must conform to the format defined in
+.BR ldif (5)
+(LDIF as defined in RFC 2849).
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Assuming that the file
+.B /tmp/entrymods
+exists and has the contents:
+.LP
+.nf
+ dn: cn=Modify Me,dc=example,dc=com
+ changetype: modify
+ replace: mail
+ mail: modme@example.com
+ \-
+ add: title
+ title: Grand Poobah
+ \-
+ add: jpegPhoto
+ jpegPhoto:< file:///tmp/modme.jpeg
+ \-
+ delete: description
+ \-
+.fi
+.LP
+the command:
+.LP
+.nf
+ ldapmodify \-f /tmp/entrymods
+.fi
+.LP
+will replace the contents of the "Modify Me" entry's
+.I mail
+attribute with the value "modme@example.com", add a
+.I title
+of "Grand Poobah", and the contents of the file "/tmp/modme.jpeg"
+as a
+.IR jpegPhoto ,
+and completely remove the
+.I description
+attribute.
+.LP
+Assuming that the file
+.B /tmp/newentry
+exists and has the contents:
+.LP
+.nf
+ dn: cn=Barbara Jensen,dc=example,dc=com
+ objectClass: person
+ cn: Barbara Jensen
+ cn: Babs Jensen
+ sn: Jensen
+ title: the world's most famous mythical manager
+ mail: bjensen@example.com
+ uid: bjensen
+.fi
+.LP
+the command:
+.LP
+.nf
+ ldapadd \-f /tmp/newentry
+.fi
+.LP
+will add a new entry for Babs Jensen, using the values from the
+file
+.B /tmp/newentry.
+.LP
+Assuming that the file
+.B /tmp/entrymods
+exists and has the contents:
+.LP
+.nf
+ dn: cn=Barbara Jensen,dc=example,dc=com
+ changetype: delete
+.fi
+.LP
+the command:
+.LP
+.nf
+ ldapmodify \-f /tmp/entrymods
+.fi
+.LP
+will remove Babs Jensen's entry.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero
+exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
