💅 LDBMODIFY(1) — bestie's guide to the ldbmodify manual page

okay so you opened LDBMODIFY(1) and you're like "what is this" — don't worry, I got you 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ldbmodify — modify records in a LDB database 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ldbmodify [-H LDB-URL] [ldif-file]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ldbmodify is the girl who walks into your LDB database and just... changes things. She changes, adds, and deletes records, no cap. 👑

the actual edits she's gonna make? those get read from the LDIF-file you point her at. and here's the cute part — if you pass - as the filename, she reads the input straight from stdin instead. very flexible of her, honestly. 💅

for now, see ldapmodify(1) for the deets on the LDIF file format. (yes, "for now" — that's literally what it says, bestie, I don't make the rules 🎀)

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -H <ldb-url> — the LDB URL to connect to. want the full tea on that? see ldb(3) for details. ☕

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• LDB_URL — the LDB URL to connect to. lowkey she can be overridden tho, just use the -H command-line option and she'll step aside. 🙈
