.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B Slapadd
.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.
-.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).
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-v
-enable verbose mode.
-.TP
-.B \-c
-enable continue (ignore errors) mode.
-.TP
-.B \-g
-disable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database will be
-processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).
-.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
+
+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
-enable dry-run (don't write to backend) mode.
-.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 \-w
-write syncrepl context information.
-After all entries are added, the contextCSN
-will be updated with the greatest CSN in the database.
-.TP
-.BI \-d " level"
-enable debugging messages as defined by the specified
-.IR level .
+in
+.BR slapd (8)),
+or change file ownership before running
+.BR slapd (8).
+.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-b " suffix"
Use the specified \fIsuffix\fR to determine which database to
.B \-n
option.
.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.
+.B \-c
+enable continue (ignore errors) mode.
+.TP
+.BI \-d " level"
+enable debugging messages as defined by the specified
+.IR level ;
+see
+.BR slapd (8)
+for details.
.TP
.BI \-f " slapd.conf"
specify an alternative
default config file is ignored. If dryrun mode is also specified,
no conversion will occur.
.TP
+.B \-g
+disable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database will be
+processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).
+.TP
+.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 \-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
+configuration file. The
+.B \-n
+cannot be used in conjunction with the
+.B \-b
+option.
+.TP
+.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))

+.B \-q
+enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode. Does fewer consistency checks

+.TP
+.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.
