SLAPCAT(8C)					      SLAPCAT(8C)

NAME
       slapcat - SLAPD database to LDIF utility

SYNOPSIS
       SBINDIR/slapcat	[-v]  [-c]  [-d	 level]	 [-b  suffix] [-n
       dbnum] [-f slapd.conf] [-l ldif-file]

DESCRIPTION
       Slapcat is used to generate an LDAP Directory  Interchange
       Format (LDIF) output based upon the contents of a slapd(8)
       database.  It opens the given database determined  by  the
       database	 number	 or  suffix  and writes the corresponding
       LDIF to standard output or the specified file.

       The LDIF generated by this tool is suitable for	use  with
       slapadd(8).   As	 the  entries  are in database order, not
       superior first order, they  cannot  be  loaded  with  lda-
       padd(8) without being reordered.

OPTIONS
       -v     enable verbose mode.

       -c     enable continue (ignore errors) mode.

       -d level
	      enable  debugging messages as defined by the speci-
	      fied level.

       -b suffix
	      Use  the	specified  suffix  to	determine   which
	      database	to generate output for.	 The -b cannot be
	      used in conjunction with the -n option.

       -n dbnum
	      Generate output for the dbnum-th database listed in
	      the  configuration  file.	 The -n cannot be used in
	      conjunction with the -b option.

       -f slapd.conf
	      specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.

       -l ldif-file
	      Write LDIF to specified file  instead  of	 standard
	      output.

Limitations
       Your  slapd(8)  should  not  be	running (at least, not in
       read-write mode) when you do this to ensure consistency of
       the database.

EXAMPLES
       To make a text backup of your SLAPD database and put it in
       a file called ldif, give the command:

	    SBINDIR/slapcat -l ldif
