LDAP command line tools support a common set of options, including authentication and bind parameters.
These commands can be used to manipulate directory entries directly. The ldapsearch, ldapadd, and ldapmodify tools support a common text-based format for representing directory information called the LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF).
