<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>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.

<title>OPTIONS</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>-?</term>
<term>--help</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Show list of available options, and a phrase describing what that option
does.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>--usage</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Show list of available options. This is similar to the help option,
however it does not provide any description, and is hence shorter.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-H <ldb-url></term>
<listitem>
<para>
LDB URL to connect to. For a tdb database,
this will be of the form
tdb://<replaceable>filename</replaceable>.
For a LDAP connection over unix domain
sockets, this will be of the form
ldapi://<replaceable>socket</replaceable>. For
a (potentially remote) LDAP connection over
TCP, this will be of the form
ldap://<replaceable>hostname</replaceable>. For
an SQLite database, this will be of the form
sqlite://<replaceable>filename</replaceable>.
