6.8. ldif
ldif
automatically formats LDIF files and creates base-64 encoded attribute values. Base-64
encoding makes it possible to represent binary data, such as a JPEG image, in LDIF. Base-64
encoded data is represented using a double colon (
::
) symbol. For example:
jpegPhoto::
encoded data
In addition to binary data, other values that must be base-64 encoded can identified with other
symbols, including the following:
• Any value that begins with a space.
• Any value that begins with a single colon (:).
• Any value that contains non-ASCII data, including newlines.
The
ldif
command-line utility will take any input and format it with the correct line continuation and
appropriate attribute information. The
ldif
utility also senses whether the input requires base-64
encoding.

Description
-b
Specifies that the
ldif
utility should interpret the
entire input as a single binary value. If
-b
is not
present, each line is considered to be a separate
input value.
As an alternative to the
-b
option, use the
:<
URL specifier notation. For example:
jpegphoto:< file:///tmp/myphoto.jpg
Although the official notation requires three
///
,
the use of one
/
is accepted.
NOTE
The
:<
URL specifier notation only
works if LDIF statement is version
1 or later, meaning
version: 1
is
