+.TP
+.BI \-n \ dbnum
+Add entries to the \fIdbnum\fR-th database listed in the
+configuration file. The
+.B \-n
+cannot be used in conjunction with the
+.B \-b
+option.
+To populate the config database
+.BR slapd\-config (5),
+use
+.B \-n 0
+as it is always the first database. It must physically exist
+on the filesystem prior to this, however.
+.TP
+.BI \-o \ option\fR[ = value\fR]
+Specify an
+.I option
+with a(n optional)
+.IR value .
+Possible generic options/values are:
+.LP
+.nf
+ syslog=<subsystems> (see `\-s' in slapd(8))
+ syslog\-level=<level> (see `\-S' in slapd(8))
+ syslog\-user=<user> (see `\-l' in slapd(8))
+
+ schema-check={yes|no}
+ value-check={yes|no}
+
+.in
+The \fIschema\-check\fR option toggles schema checking (default on);
+the \fIvalue\-check\fR option toggles value checking (default off).
+The latter is incompatible with \fB-q\fR.
+.TP
+.B \-q
+enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode. Does fewer consistency checks
+on the input data, and no consistency checks when writing the database.
+Improves the load time but if any errors or interruptions occur the resulting
+database will be unusable.
+.TP
+.B \-s
+disable schema checking. This option is intended to be used when loading
+databases containing special objects, such as fractional objects on a
+partial replica. Loading normal objects which do not conform to
+schema may result in unexpected and ill behavior.
+.TP
+.BI \-S \ SID
+Server ID to use in generated entryCSN. Also used for contextCSN
+if \fB\-w\fP is set as well. Defaults to \fB0\fP.
+.TP
+.B \-u
+enable dry-run (don't write to backend) mode.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+enable verbose mode.
+.TP
+.BI \-w
+write syncrepl context information.
+After all entries are added, the contextCSN
+will be updated with the greatest CSN in the database.
