     SLAPD.REPLOG(5)          OpenLDAP 2.1.12          SLAPD.REPLOG(5)

     NAME
          slapd.replog - slapd replication log format

     SYNOPSIS
          slapd.replog slapd.replog.lock

     DESCRIPTION
          The file slapd.replog is produced by the stand-alone LDAP
          daemon, slapd(8), when changes are made to its local
          database that are to be propagated to one or more replica
          slapds.  The file consists of zero or more records, each one
          corresponding to a change, addition, or deletion from the
          slapd database.  The file is meant to be read and processed
          by slurpd(8), the stand-alone LDAP update replication
          daemon.  The records are separated by a blank line.  Each
          record has the following format.

          The record begins with one or more lines indicating the
          replicas to which the change is to be propagated:

               replica: <hostname[:portnumber]>

          Next, the time the change took place given, as the number of
          seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970, with an optional
          decimal extension, in order to make times unique.  Note that
          slapd does not make times unique, but slurpd makes all times
          unique in its copies of the replog files.

               time: <integer[.integer]>

          Next, the distinguished name of the entry being changed is
          given:

               dn: <distinguishedname>

          Next, the type of change being made is given:

               changetype: <[modify|add|delete|modrdn]>

          Finally, the change information itself is given, the format
          of which depends on what kind of change was specified above.
          For a changetype of modify, the format is one or more of the
          following:

               add: <attributetype>
               <attributetype>: <value1>
               <attributetype>: <value2>
               ...
               -

          Or, for a replace modification:

     Page 1                                         (printed 1/20/103)

     SLAPD.REPLOG(5)          OpenLDAP 2.1.12          SLAPD.REPLOG(5)

               replace: <attributetype>
               <attributetype>: <value1>
               <attributetype>: <value2>
               ...
               -

          Or, for a delete modification:

               delete: <attributetype>
               <attributetype>: <value1>
               <attributetype>: <value2>
               ...
               -

          If no attributetype lines are given, the entire attribute is
          to be deleted.

          For a changetype of add, the format is:

               <attributetype1>: <value1>
               <attributetype1>: <value2>
               ...
               <attributetypeN>: <value1>
               <attributetypeN>: <value2>

          For a changetype of modrdn, the format is:

               newrdn: <newrdn>
               deleteoldrdn: 0 | 1

          where a value of 1 for deleteoldrdn means to delete the
          values forming the old rdn from the entry, and a value of 0
          means to leave the values as non-distinguished attributes in
          the entry.

          For a changetype of delete, no additional information is
          needed in the record.

          The format of the values is the LDAP Directory Interchange
          Format described in ldif(5).

          Access to the slapd.replog file is synchronized through the
          use of flock(3) on the file slapd.replog.lock.  Any process
          reading or writing this file should obey this locking
          convention.

     EXAMPLE
          The following sample slapd.replog file contains information
          on one of each type of change.

               replica: truelies.rs.itd.umich.edu
               replica: judgmentday.rs.itd.umich.edu
