.SH DESCRIPTION
The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) is used to represent LDAP
entries and change records in text form. LDAP tools, such as
.BR ldapadd (1) and .BR ldapsearch (1), read and write LDIF entry
records. ldapmodify(1) reads LDIF change records.
.BR ldapadd (1)
and
.BR ldapsearch (1),
read and write LDIF entry
records.
.BR ldapmodify (1)
reads LDIF change records.
.LP
This manual page provides a basic description of LDIF. A
formal specification of LDIF is published in RFC 2849.

.SH INCLUDE STATEMENT
The LDIF parser has been extended to support an
.B include
statement for referencing other LDIF files. The
.B include
statement must be separated from other records by a blank line.
The referenced file is specified using a file: URI and all of its
contents are incorporated as if they were part of the original
LDIF file. As above, other URI schemes may be supported. For example:
.LP
.nf
dn: dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: domain
dc: example
include: file:///tmp/example.com.ldif
dn: dc=example,dc=org
objectclass: domain
dc: example
.fi
This feature is not part of the LDIF specification in RFC 2849 but
is expected to appear in a future revision of this spec.
