2.2. Managing Entries from the Command-Line
The command-line utilities allow you to manipulate the contents of your directory. They can be useful
to write scripts to perform bulk management of the directory or to test the Directory Server. For
example, you might want to ensure that it returns the expected information after you have made
changes to access control information.
With command-line utilities, information can be provided directly from the command-line or through an
LDIF input file.
