SELECT-EDITOR(1)					      General Commands Manual						  SELECT-EDITOR(1)

NAME

       select-editor - select your default sensible-editor from all installed editors

SYNOPSIS

       select-editor

DESCRIPTION

       select-editor provides a coherent mechanism for selecting and storing a preferred sensible-editor on a per-user basis.  It lists the avail-
       able editors on a system and interactively prompts the user to select one.  The results are stored as SELECTED_EDITOR  in  ~/.selected_edi-
       tor, which is sourced and used by sensible-editor.  SELECTED_EDITOR is overridden by the VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables.

NAME

       ldbedit - Edit LDB databases using your preferred editor

SYNOPSIS

       ldbedit [-?] [--usage] [-s base|one|sub] [-b basedn] [-a] [-e editor] [-H LDB-URL] [expression] [attributes...]

DESCRIPTION

       ldbedit is a utility that allows you to edit LDB entries (in tdb files, sqlite files or LDAP servers) using your preferred editor. ldbedit
       generates an LDIF file based on your query, allows you to edit the LDIF, and then merges that LDIF back into the LDB backend.

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
	   Show list of available options, and a phrase describing what that option does.

       --usage
	   Show list of available options. This is similar to the help option, however it does not provide any description, and is hence shorter.

       -H <ldb-url>
	   LDB URL to connect to. For a tdb database, this will be of the form tdb://filename. For a LDAP connection over unix domain sockets,
	   this will be of the form ldapi://socket. For a (potentially remote) LDAP connection over TCP, this will be of the form ldap://hostname.
	   For an SQLite database, this will be of the form sqlite://filename.

       -s one|sub|base
	   Search scope to use. One-level, subtree or base.

       -a, -all
	   Edit all records. This allows you to apply the same change to a number of records at once. You probably want to combine this with an
	   expression of the form "objectclass=*".

       -e editor, --editor editor
	   Specify the editor that should be used (overrides the VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables). If this option is not used, and neither
	   VISUAL nor EDITOR environment variables are set, then the vi editor will be used.

       -b basedn
	   Specify Base Distinguished Name to use.

       -v, --verbose
	   Make ldbedit more verbose about the operations that are being performed. Without this option, ldbedit will only provide a summary
	   change line.

ENVIRONMENT

       LDB_URL
	   LDB URL to connect to. This can be overridden by using the -H command-line option.)

       VISUAL and EDITOR
	   Environment variables used to determine what editor to use. VISUAL takes precedence over EDITOR, and both are overridden by the -e
	   command-line option.
