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:
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.

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