Table 6.22. ldif Options
Option Description
-b Specifies that the ldif utility should interpret the
entire input as a single binary value. If -b is not
present, each line is considered to be a separate
input value.
As an alternative to the -b option, use the :<
URL specifier notation. For example:
jpegphoto:< file:///tmp/myphoto.jpg
Although the official notation requires three ///,
the use of one / is accepted.
NOTE
The :< URL specifier notation only works
if LDIF statement is version 1 or later,
meaning version: 1 is inserted in the
LDIF file. Otherwise, the file URL is
appended as the attribute value rather
than the contents of the file.
6.9. dbscan
The dbscan tool analyzes and extracts information from a Directory Server database file. See
Section 4.4, “Database Files” for more information on database files.
Database files use the .db2, .db3, and .db4 extensions in their filename, depending on the version of
Directory Server.
