+(LDAP over TCP on all interfaces on default LDAP port). That is,
+it will bind to using INADDR_ANY and port 389.
The
.B \-h
option may be used to specify LDAP (and LDAPS) URLs to serve.
For example, if slapd is given
-.B \-h " ldap://127.0.0.1:9009/ ldaps:///",
-It will bind 127.0.0.1:9009 for LDAP and INADDR_ANY:636 for LDAP over TLS.
+.B \-h " ldap://127.0.0.1:9009/ ldaps:/// ldapi:///",
+It will bind 127.0.0.1:9009 for LDAP, INADDR_ANY:636 for LDAP over TLS,
+and LDAP over IPC (Unix domain sockets).
A space separated list of URLs is expected. The URLS should be of
-LDAP (ldap://) or, if supported, LDAP over TLS (ldaps://) type without
-a DN or other optional parameters. Hosts may be specified in either
-Internet '.' format (preferred) or by name. Ports, if specfied,
-must be numeric.

+scheme without a DN or other optional parameters. Support for the
+latter two schemes depends on selected configuration options. Hosts
+may be specified by name or IPv4 and IPv6 address formats.
+Ports, if specfied, must be numeric. The default ldap:// port is 389
