Managing Entries from the Command-Line

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