LDBRENAME(1)

💖 LDBRENAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ldbrename — it's one of the System Administration tools, and yes, its manual page name is literally LDBRENAME(1), we love a lowercase-lowercase situation, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ldbrename — Edit LDB databases using your favorite editor

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ldbrename [-h] [-o options] {olddn} {newdn}

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So ldbrename is this little utility that lets you rename trees in an LDB database — and it does it based by DN, which is the whole point, iykyk. 🎀

It takes exactly two arguments, and the way that it takes them is:

• the original DN name of the top element
• the DN you want to change it to

That's it. Two lil guys and you're done. Periodt. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h — Show list of available options. Like, hello, here's the menu bestie. ✨
• -H <ldb-url> — The LDB URL to connect to. Peep ldb(3) for the deets, it's all in there. 🔥
• -o options — Extra ldb options, such as modules. Sprinkle in whatever extra sauce you need. 🍓

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• LDB_URL — The LDB URL to connect to. And yes, you can override it by using the -H command-line option, so it's giving flexible, it's giving main character energy. 💜
