🌸 NAME 🌸

ldbadd — a command-line utility for adding records to an LDB 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ldbadd [-h] [-H LDB-URL] [ldif-file1] [ldif-file2] [...]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so. ldbadd adds records to an ldb(3) database. that's the whole job and it does it flawlessly, no cap.

here's the vibe: it reads the ldif(5) files you list on the command line, and it adds the records from those files into the LDB database. which database tho?? 👀 the one you point at with the -H option, or the one the LDB_URL environment variable is screaming about. your call, bestie.

and listen — if you pass - as a ldb file, the ldif input gets read from standard input instead. iconic behavior honestly. 🌈

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h — shows you the list of available options. a little menu of possibilities, very demure, very mindful. 💖
• -H <ldb-url> — the LDB URL you wanna connect to. peep ldb(3) for the details, iykyk. 🔥

---

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

• LDB_URL — the LDB URL to connect to. (heads up tho: this can be overridden by using the -H command-line option. -H said "not me being the main character" 💅)
