NAME

       bdii-update - the bdii update process

SYNOPSIS

       bdii-update [-d ] -c config-file

DESCRIPTION

       The  bdii-update  process  obtains  the LDIF by reading files found the ldif directory, running providers
       found in the provider directory and running plugins found in the plugin
        directory.  The difference between providers and plugins is that providers return complete  entries  and
       plugins  provide  modifications  to  existing  entries.   The  process can be run either as a daemon that
       periodically syncronizes an LDAP database or as a command that will print the result to stdout.

              The configuration to use.

FILES

       /etc/bdii.conf
