   [1] User names can be specified as distinguished names:
	      uid=foo,ou=bar,dc=acme,dc=com

	      or search	filters:

	      (uid=foo)

	      Note the use of parenthesis, which can be	 omitted  from	search
	      filters  usually but are required	here.  For this	searching bind
	      to work, your client library must	be configured with appropriate
	      default search parameters.

       [2] Repeat the search for each naming context found and present the

       concatenation of	all search results.
	      Conflicts	with --base.

	      With --config, show a BASE configuration line for	each context.

       A special (offline) option is --diff,  which  compares  two  files  and
       writes any changes to standard output in	LDIF format.

REPORTING BUGS
       Report bugs to "ldapvi@lists.askja.de".

GETTING	STARTED
       Assuming	 a  suitably configured	LDAP library, run ldapvi without argu-
       ments to	see all	entries	available.

       Otherwise, try `ldapvi -h HOSTNAME --discover' to query	the  ROOT  DSE
       for available naming contexts.

       Once that works,	run `ldapvi -h HOSTNAME	--discover --config' to	gener-
       ate   sample  configuration  that  can  be  pasted  into	 ~/.ldaprc  or
       /etc/ldap/ldap.conf.

FILE FORMAT
       ldapvi uses an LDIF-like	syntax,	but not	standard LDIF.	 Please	 refer
       to http://www.lichteblau.com/ldapvi/manual.xml#syntax

BUGS
       Please report bugs to <ldapvi@lists.askja.de>.
