database.
It opens the given database determined by the database number or
suffix and adds entries corresponding to the provided LDIF to
-the database. The LDIF input is read from standard input or
-the specified file.
-.LP
-As
-.B slapadd
-is designed to accept LDIF in database order, as produced by
-.BR slapcat (8),
-it does not verify that superior entries exist before
-adding an entry, does not perform all user and system
-schema checks, and does not maintain operational
-attributes (such as createTimeStamp and modifiersName).
+the database.
+Databases configured as
+.B subordinate
+of this one are also updated, unless \fB-g\fP is specified.
+The LDIF input is read from standard input or the specified file.
+
+All files eventually created by
+.BR slapadd (8)
+will belong to the identity
+.BR slapadd (8)
+is run as, so make sure you either run
+.BR slapadd (8)
+with the same identity
+.BR slapd (8)
+will be run as (see option
+.B \-u
+in
+.BR slapd (8)),
+or change file ownership before running
+.BR slapd (8).
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
-.B \-v
-enable verbose mode.
+.BI \-b " suffix"
+Use the specified \fIsuffix\fR to determine which database to
+add entries to. The \-b cannot be used in conjunction
+with the
+.B \-n
+option.
.TP
.B \-c
enable continue (ignore errors) mode.
.TP
-.B \-u
-enable dry-run (don't write to backend) mode.
+.BI \-d " level"
+enable debugging messages as defined by the specified
+.IR level ;
+see
+.BR slapd (8)
+for details.
.TP
-.BI \-p
-If the LDIF input represents a syncrepl consumer replica,
-promote it to the syncrepl provider's content after adding
-the entries.
+.BI \-f " slapd.conf"
+specify an alternative
+.BR slapd.conf (5)
+file.
.TP
-.BI \-r
-If the LDIF input represents a syncrepl provider, demote
-it to the syncrepl consumer replica after adding the entries.
+.BI \-F " confdir"
+specify a config directory.
+If both
+.B -f
+and
+.B -F
+are specified, the config file will be read and converted to
+config directory format and written to the specified directory.
+If neither option is specified, an attempt to read the
+default config directory will be made before trying to use the default
+config file. If a valid config directory exists then the
+default config file is ignored. If dryrun mode is also specified,
+no conversion will occur.
.TP
-.BI \-w
-When used with either
-.B \-p
-or
-.B \-r,
-rebuild the new syncrepl
-information from the contents of the added entries.
-The syncrepl information contained in the LDIF input
-file is ignored.
+.B \-g
+disable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database will be
+processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).
.TP
-.BI \-d " level"
-enable debugging messages as defined by the specified
-.IR level .
+.BI \-j " lineno"
+Jump to the specified line number in the LDIF file before processing
+any entries. This allows a load that was aborted due to errors in the
+input LDIF to be resumed after the errors are corrected.
.TP
-.BI \-b " suffix"
-Use the specified \fIsuffix\fR to determine which database to
-add entries to. The \-b cannot be used in conjunction
-with the
-.B \-n
-option.
+.BI \-l " ldif-file"
+Read LDIF from the specified file instead of standard input.
.TP
.BI \-n " dbnum"
Add entries to the \fIdbnum\fR\-th database listed in the
.B \-b
option.
.TP
-.BI \-i " rid1,rid2,..."
-Specify the replication ids for one or more syncrepl consumer
-replicas contained in the LDIF input. If omitted, 0 is used
-as the replication id.
+.BI \-o " option[=value]"
+Specify an
+.BR option
+with a(n optional)
+.BR 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))
+
+.fi
+.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
-.BI \-f " slapd.conf"
-specify an alternative
-.BR slapd.conf (5)
-file.
+.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 \-l " ldif-file"
-Read LDIF from the specified file instead of standard input.
+.B \-S " SID"
+Server ID to use in generated entryCSN. Also used for contextCSN
+if `\-w' is set as well. Defaults to 0.
+.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.
