104 For example, if slapd is given
105 .B \-h " ldap://127.0.0.1:9009/ ldaps:///",
106 It will bind 127.0.0.1:9009 for LDAP and INADDR_ANY:636 for LDAP over TLS.
107 A space separated list of URLs is expected. The URLS should be of
108 LDAP (ldap://) or, if supported, LDAP over TLS (ldaps://) type without
109 a DN or other optional parameters. Hosts may be specified in either
110 Internet '.' format (preferred) or by name. Ports, if specfied,
115 will run slapd with the specified user name or id, and that user's
