NAME¶
ldbedit - Edit LDB databases using your preferred editorSYNOPSIS¶
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¶
-?, --helpShow 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_URLLDB 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.
