💖 LDBDEL(1) 💖

okay bestie, come sit with me — this is the manual page for ldbdel, one of the system administration tools, and it's genuinely so simple it's giving "one job and she does it" energy. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

ldbdel — the command-line program that deletes LDB records. That's it. That's the whole vibe. she deletes and she leaves. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ldbdel [-h] [-H LDB-URL] [dn] [...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: ldbdel deletes records from an ldb(3) database. Which records? The ones identified by the dn's you hand her on the command line. You point, she yeets. no cap. 💀

And where does she even connect? Two options, bestie:

  • she uses the database you told her about with the -H option, or
  • she uses the database named by the LDB_URL environment variable.

That's the whole decision tree. iconic, honestly. 🌸

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -h — shows you the list of available options. A little menu, a little snack, a little "here's what I can do." 🎀
  • -H <ldb-url> — the LDB URL to connect to. Need the deets? Go check ldb(3), she explains everything. 🔥

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • LDB_URL — the LDB URL to connect to. BUT — and this is the important part — it can be overridden by using the -H command-line option. So if you set both, -H wins. She's the main character. 👑

💌 NOTES 💌

  1. Andrew Tridgell — https://www.samba.org/~tridge/
heads up queen: this page is for LDB 1.1, dated 09/09/2026, and it came to you straight from the LDB 1.1 manual — so if your version is different, double-check before you delete anything, because deleting records is forever. 😭💖

mwah, go forth and clean up your database, you've got this. 🦋✨💅
