of this one are also output, unless \fB-g\fP is specified.
37
The entry records are presented in database order, not superior first
38
order. The entry records will include all (user and operational)
39
attributes stored in the database. The entry records will not include
40
dynamically generated attributes (such as subschemaSubentry).

The output of slapcat cannot generally be used as input to
46
or other LDAP clients without first editing the output.
47
This editing would normally include reordering the records
48
into superior first order and removing no-user-modification
49
operational attributes.
53
Only dump entries matching the asserted filter.

"(!(entryDN:dnSubtreeMatch:=ou=People,dc=example,dc=com))"
59
will dump all but the "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" subtree
60
of the "dc=example,dc=com" database.

config file. If a valid config directory exists then the
95
default config file is ignored.

disable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database will be

processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).

Write LDIF to specified file instead of standard output.

syslog-level=<level> (see `\-S' in slapd(8))
122
syslog-user=<user> (see `\-l' in slapd(8))
