+on the command line, only the indices for those attributes will
+be regenerated.
+Databases configured as

+with the same identity

+will be run as (see option
+.B \-u

 .SH OPTIONS
 .TP
-.B \-v
-enable verbose mode.
+.BI \-b \ suffix
+Use the specified \fIsuffix\fR to determine which database to
+generate output for.  The \fB\-b\fP cannot be used in conjunction
+with the
+.B \-n
+option.
 .TP
 .B \-c
 enable continue (ignore errors) mode.
 .TP
-.B \-q
-enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode. Performs no consistency checks
-when writing the database. Improves indexing time, but if any errors or
-interruptions occur the database will most likely be unusable.
-.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
-generate output for.  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 \-n " dbnum"
-Generate output for the \fIdbnum\fR\-th database listed in the
-configuration file.  The
+.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.
+.TP
+.B \-g
+disable subordinate gluing.  Only the specified database will be
+processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).
+.TP
+.BI \-n \ dbnum
+Generate output for the \fIdbnum\fR-th database listed in the
+configuration file. The config database
+.BR slapd\-config (5),
+is always the first database, so use
+.B \-n 0
+
+The
 .B \-n
 cannot be used in conjunction with the
 .B \-b
 option.
 .TP
-.BI \-f " slapd.conf"
-specify an alternative
-.BR slapd.conf (5)
-file.
+.BI \-o \ option\fR[ = value\fR]
+Specify an
