       Environment variables: VISUAL, EDITOR, PAGER.

   [1]Usernamescanbespecifiedasdistinguishednames:
              uid=foo,ou=bar,dc=acme,dc=com

              or search filters:

              (uid=foo)

              Note  the  use  of  parenthesis, which can be omitted from search filters usually but are required
              here.  For this searching bind to work, your client library must be  configured  with  appropriate
              default search parameters.

       [2] Repeat the search for each naming context found and present the

       concatenation of all search results.
              Conflicts with --base.

              With --config, show a BASE configuration line for each context.

       A  special (offline) option is --diff, which compares two files and writes any changes to standard output
       in LDIF format.

       ldapvi    uses    an    LDIF-like    syntax,    but    not    standard    LDIF.     Please    refer    to
       http://www.lichteblau.com/ldapvi/manual.xml#syntax

       Assuming a suitably configured LDAP library, run ldapvi without arguments to see all entries available.

       Otherwise, try `ldapvi -h HOSTNAME --discover' to query the ROOT DSE for available naming contexts.

       Once that works, run `ldapvi -h HOSTNAME --discover --config' to generate sample configuration  that  can
       be pasted into ~/.ldaprc or /etc/ldap/ldap.conf.
