.SH ALTERNATIVE INPUT FORMAT
An alternative input format is supported for compatibility with older
versions of
.I ldapmodify.
This format consists of one or more entries separated by blank lines,
where each entry looks like:
.LP
.nf
Distinguished Name (DN)
attr=value
[attr=value ...]
.fi
.LP
where \fIattr\fP is the name of the attribute and \fIvalue\fP is the
value.
.LP
By default, values are added. If the
.RI \- r
command line flag is
given, the default is to replace existing values with the new one.
Note that it is permissible for a given attribute to appear more than
once (for example, to add more than one value for an attribute). Also
note that you can use a trailing `\\' to continue values across lines and
preserve newlines in the value itself (this is useful for modifying
QUIPU iattr attributes among others).
.LP
.I attr
should be preceded by a \fB-\fP to remove a value. The `=' and
value should be omitted to remove an entire attribute.
.LP
.I attr
should be preceded by a \fB+\fP to add a value in the presence of the
