.SH DESCRIPTION

.B Slapadd
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
-The LDIF generated by this tool is suitable for use with
-.BR slapcat (8).
+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
+will belong to the identity
+.BR slapadd
+is run as, so make sure you either run
+.BR slapadd
+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).
+
+Note: slapadd will also perform the relevant indexing whilst adding the database if
+any are configured. For specfic details, please see
+.BR slapindex (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 \fB\-b\fP cannot be used in conjunction
+with the
+.B \-n
+option.
.TP
.B \-c
enable continue (ignore errors) mode.
.TP
-.B \-s
-disable schema and other checks.
-.TP
-.BI \-d " level"
+.BI \-d \ debug-level
enable debugging messages as defined by the specified
-.IR level .
+.IR debug-level ;
+see
+.BR slapd (8)
+for details.
.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 \-f \ slapd.conf
+specify an alternative
+.BR slapd.conf (5)
+file.
+.TP
+.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 dry-run mode is also specified,
+no conversion will occur.
.TP
-.BI \-n " dbnum"
-Add entries to the \fIdbnum\fR\-th database listed in the
+.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.
+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 \-f " slapd.conf"
-specify an alternative
-.BR slapd.conf (5)
-file.
+.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
-.BI \-l " ldif-file"
-Read LDIF from the specified file instead of standard input.
+.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.
