NAME

       slapd.replog - slapd replication log format

SYNOPSIS

       slapd.replog slapd.replog.lock

DESCRIPTION

       The  file slapd.replog is produced by the stand-alone LDAP daemon, slapd, when changes are made to its local database that are to be propa-
       gated to one or more replica slapds.  The file consists of zero or more records, each one corresponding to a change, addition, or  deletion
       from  the  slapd  database.   The  file	is  meant to be read and processed by slurpd, the stand-alone LDAP update replication daemon.  The
       records are separated by a blank line.  Each record has the following format.

       The record begins with one or more lines indicating the replicas to which the change is to be propagated:

	    replica: <hostname[:portnumber]>

       Next, the time the change took place given, as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970, with an optional decimal	extension,
       in  order  to make times unique.  Note that slapd does not make times unique, but slurpd makes all times unique in its copies of the replog
       files.

	    time: <integer[.integer]>

       Next, the distinguished name of the entry being changed is given:

	    dn: <distinguishedname>

       Next, the type of change being made is given:

	    changetype: <[modify|add|delete|modrdn]>

       Finally, the change information itself is given, the format of which depends on what kind of change was specified above.  For a	changetype
       of modify, the format is one or more of the following:

	    add: <attributetype>
	    <attributetype>: <value1>
	    <attributetype>: <value2>
	    ...
	    -

       Or, for a replace modification:

	    replace: <attributetype>
	    <attributetype>: <value1>
	    <attributetype>: <value2>
	    ...
	    -

       Or, for a delete modification:

	    delete: <attributetype>
	    <attributetype>: <value1>
	    <attributetype>: <value2>
	    ...
	    -

       If no attributetype lines are given, the entire attribute is to be deleted.

       For a changetype of add, the format is:

	    <attributetype1>: <value1>
	    <attributetype1>: <value2>
	    ...
	    <attributetypeN>: <value1>
	    <attributetypeN>: <value2>

       For a changetype of modrdn, the format is:

	    newrdn: <newrdn>
	    deleteoldrdn: 0 | 1

       where a value of 1 for deleteoldrdn means to delete the values forming the old rdn from the entry, and a value of 0 means to leave the val-
       ues as non-distinguished attributes in the entry.

       For a changetype of delete, no additional information is needed in the record.

       The format of the values is the LDAP Directory Interchange Format described in ldif(5).

       Access to the slapd.replog file is synchronized through the use of flock(3) on the file slapd.replog.lock.  Any process reading or  writing
       this file should obey this locking convention.

EXAMPLE

       The following sample slapd.replog file contains information on one of each type of change.

	    replica: truelies.rs.itd.umich.edu
	    replica: judgmentday.rs.itd.umich.edu
	    time: 797612941
	    dn: cn=Babs Jensen, o=U of M, c=US
	    changetype: add
	    objectclass: person
	    cn: babs
	    cn: babs jensen
	    sn: jensen

	    replica: truelies.rs.itd.umich.edu
	    replica: judgmentday.rs.itd.umich.edu
	    time: 797612973
	    dn: cn=Babs Jensen, o=U of M, c=US
	    changetype: modify
