Also: Arguments aren't writable on a lot of platforms, there's many places that would just crash.
The better solution would be to not do that in the first place, to transfer passwords via file or pipe. Or just not use them in the first place.

slappasswd
SLAPPASSWD(8C) SLAPPASSWD(8C)
NAME
slappasswd - OpenLDAP password utility
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/slappasswd [-v] [-u] [-g|-s secret|-T file] [-h hash] [-c salt-format] [-n]
DESCRIPTION
Slappasswd is used to generate an userPassword value suitable for use with ldapmodify(1), slapd.conf(5) rootpw configuration directive or
the slapd-config(5) olcRootPW configuration directive.
OPTIONS
-v enable verbose mode.
-u Generate RFC 2307 userPassword values (the default). Future versions of this program may generate alternative syntaxes by default.
This option is provided for forward compatibility.
-s secret
The secret to hash. If this, -g and -T are absent, the user will be prompted for the secret to hash. -s, -g and -T are mutually
exclusive flags.
-g Generate the secret. If this, -s and -T are absent, the user will be prompted for the secret to hash. -s, -g and -T are mutually
exclusive flags. If this is present, {CLEARTEXT} is used as scheme. -g and -h are mutually exclusive flags.
-T "file"
Hash the contents of the file. If this, -g and -s are absent, the user will be prompted for the secret to hash. -s, -g and -T and
mutually exclusive flags.
-h "scheme"
If -h is specified, one of the following RFC 2307 schemes may be specified: {CRYPT}, {MD5}, {SMD5}, {SSHA}, and {SHA}. The default
is {SSHA}.
Note that scheme names may need to be protected, due to { and }, from expansion by the user's command interpreter.
{SHA} and {SSHA} use the SHA-1 algorithm (FIPS 160-1), the latter with a seed.
{MD5} and {SMD5} use the MD5 algorithm (RFC 1321), the latter with a seed.
{CRYPT} uses the crypt(3).
{CLEARTEXT} indicates that the new password should be added to userPassword as clear text. Unless {CLEARTEXT} is used, this flag is
incompatible with option -g.
-c crypt-salt-format
Specify the format of the salt passed to crypt(3) when generating {CRYPT} passwords. This string needs to be in sprintf(3) format
and may include one (and only one) %s conversion. This conversion will be substituted with a string of random characters from
[A-Za-z0-9./]. For example, '%.2s' provides a two character salt and '$1$%.8s' tells some versions of crypt(3) to use an MD5 algo-
rithm and provides 8 random characters of salt. The default is '%s', which provides 31 characters of salt.
-n Omit the trailing newline; useful to pipe the credentials into a command.
LIMITATIONS
The practice of storing hashed passwords in userPassword violates Standard Track (RFC 4519) schema specifications and may hinder interoper-
ability. A new attribute type, authPassword, to hold hashed passwords has been defined (RFC 3112), but is not yet implemented in slapd(8).
It should also be noted that the behavior of crypt(3) is platform specific.
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
Use of hashed passwords does not protect passwords during protocol transfer. TLS or other eavesdropping protections should be in-place
before using LDAP simple bind.
The hashed password values should be protected as if they were clear text passwords.
