-An alternative input format is supported for compatibility with older

-.I ldapmodify.
-This format consists of one or more entries separated by blank lines,

-.LP
-.nf
-    Distinguished Name (DN)

-By default, values are added.  If the

-Note that it is permissible for a given attribute to appear more than
-once (for example, to add more than one value for an attribute).  Also
-note that you can use a trailing `\\' to continue values across lines and
-preserve newlines in the value itself (this is useful for modifying
