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,
  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, 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:

	  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
	  time: 797612941
	  dn: cn=Babs Jensen, o=U of M, c=US
	  changetype: add
	  objectclass: person
	  cn: babs
	  cn: babs jensen
	  sn: jensen

	  replica: truelies.rs.itd.umich.edu
	  replica: judgmentday.rs.itd.umich.edu
	  time: 797612973
	  dn: cn=Babs Jensen, o=U of M, c=US
	  changetype: modify
	  add: description
	  description: the fabulous babs

	  replica: truelies.rs.itd.umich.edu
	  replica: judgmentday.rs.itd.umich.edu
	  time: 797613020
	  dn: cn=Babs Jensen, o=U of M, c=US
	  changetype: modrdn
	  newrdn: cn=Barbara J Jensen
	  deleteoldrdn: 0
