.SH OPTIONS
.TP
-.B \-v
-enable verbose mode.
-.TP
-.BI \-d " level"
+.BI \-d \ debug-level
enable debugging messages as defined by the specified
-.IR level .
+.IR debug-level ;

+.BR slapd (8)
+for details.
.TP
-.BI \-f " slapd.conf"
+.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, slaptest will attempt to read the
+default config directory 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
+Just open and test the \fIdbnum\fR-th database listed in the
+configuration file.
+To only test the config database
+.BR slapd\-config (5),
+use
+.B \-n 0
+as it is always the first database.
+.TP
+.BI \-o \ option\fR[ = value\fR]
+Specify an
+.I option
+with a(n optional)
+.IR value .
+Possible generic options/values are:
+.LP
+.nf

+
+.fi
+.TP
+.BI \-Q
+Be extremely quiet: only the exit code indicates success (0) or not
+(any other value).

+but config is fine).
+.TP
+.B \-v
+enable verbose mode.
