slapcat

slapcat is used to generate an LDAP Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) output based upon the contents of a slapd database. It opens the given database determined by the database number or suffix and writes the corresponding LDIF to standard output or the specified file. Databases configured as subordinate of this one are also output, unless -g is specified.
