DESCRIPTION
       Slapindex  is used to regenerate slapd(8) indices based upon the current contents of a database.  It opens the given database determined by
       the database number or suffix and updates the indices for all values of all attributes of all entries.

       -v     enable verbose mode.

       -c     enable continue (ignore errors) mode.

       -d level
	      enable debugging messages as defined by the specified level.

       -b suffix
	      Use the specified suffix to determine which database to generate output for.  The -b cannot be  used  in	conjunction  with  the	-n
	      option.

       -n dbnum
	      Generate	output	for  the  dbnum-th  database  listed  in the configuration file.  The -n cannot be used in conjunction with the -b
	      option.

       -f slapd.conf
	      specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.

LIMITATIONS
       Your slapd(8) should not be running (at least, not in read-write mode) when you do this to ensure consistency of the database.

       This command provides ample opportunity for the user to obtain and drink their favorite beverage.
