Name
slapindex — SLAPD index to LDIF utility
Synopsis
SBINDIR/slapindex
[−v] [−c] [−g] [−q] [ −d level ] [ −b suffix ] [ −n dbnum ] [ −f slapd.conf ] [ −F confdir ]
DESCRIPTION
Slapindex is
used to regenerate slapd(8) indices based upon
the current contents of a database. It opens the given
database determined by the database number or suffix and
updates the indices for all values of all attributes of all
entries. Databases configured as subordinate of this one are
also re-indexed, unless −g is specified.
OPTIONS
−v-
enable verbose mode.
−c-
enable continue (ignore errors) mode.
−g-
disable subordinate gluing. Only the specified
database will be processed, and not its glued
subordinates (if any).
−q-
enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode. Performs
no consistency checks when writing the database.
Improves indexing time, however the database
will most likely be unusable if any errors or
interruptions occur.
−d
level-
enable debugging messages as defined by the
specified level.
−b
suffix-
Use the specified suffix to determine which
database to generate output for. The −b cannot be
used in conjunction with the −n option.
−n
dbnum-
Generate output for the dbnum−th database
listed in the configuration file. The −n cannot be used in conjunction
with the −b
option.
−f
slapd.conf-
specify an alternative slapd.conf(5)
file.
−F
confdir-
specify a config directory. If both −f and −F are specified,
the config file will be read and converted to config
directory format and written to the specified
directory. If neither option is specified, an attempt
to read the default config directory will be made
before trying to use the default config file. If a
valid config directory exists then the default config
file is ignored.
LIMITATIONS
Your slapd(8) should not be
running (at least, not in read-write mode) when you do this
to ensure consistency of the database.
This command provides ample opportunity for the user to
obtain and drink their favorite beverage.
EXAMPLES
To reindex your SLAPD database, give the command:
