NAME
       ldbedit - Edit LDB databases using your preferred editor

SYNOPSIS
       ldbedit [-?] [--usage] [-s base|one|sub] [-b basedn] [-a] [-e editor]
	       [-H LDB-URL] [expression] [attributes...]

DESCRIPTION
       ldbedit is a utility that allows you to edit LDB entries (in tdb files,
       sqlite files or LDAP servers) using your preferred editor. ldbedit
       generates an LDIF file based on your query, allows you to edit the
       LDIF, and then merges that LDIF back into the LDB backend.

OPTIONS
       -?, --help
	   Show list of available options, and a phrase describing what that
	   option does.

       --usage
	   Show list of available options. This is similar to the help option,
	   however it does not provide any description, and is hence shorter.

       -H <ldb-url>
	   LDB URL to connect to. For a tdb database, this will be of the form
	   tdb://filename. For a LDAP connection over unix domain sockets,
	   this will be of the form ldapi://socket. For a (potentially remote)
	   LDAP connection over TCP, this will be of the form ldap://hostname.
	   For an SQLite database, this will be of the form sqlite://filename.

       -s one|sub|base
	   Search scope to use. One-level, subtree or base.

       -a, -all
	   Edit all records. This allows you to apply the same change to a
	   number of records at once. You probably want to combine this with
	   an expression of the form "objectclass=*".

       -e editor, --editor editor
	   Specify the editor that should be used (overrides the VISUAL and
	   EDITOR environment variables). If this option is not used, and
	   neither VISUAL nor EDITOR environment variables are set, then the
	   vi editor will be used.

       -b basedn
	   Specify Base Distinguished Name to use.

       -v, --verbose
	   Make ldbedit more verbose about the operations that are being
	   performed. Without this option, ldbedit will only provide a summary
	   change line.

ENVIRONMENT
       LDB_URL
	   LDB URL to connect to. This can be overridden by using the -H
	   command-line option.)

       VISUAL and EDITOR
	   Environment variables used to determine what editor to use. VISUAL
	   takes precedence over EDITOR, and both are overridden by the -e
	   command-line option.

VERSION
       This man page is correct for version 1.1 of LDB.
