+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para>ldbedit is a utility that allows you to edit LDB entries (in
+ tdb files, sqlite files or LDAP servers) using your preferred editor.
+ ldbedit generates an LDIF file based on your query, allows you to edit
+ the LDIF, and then merges that LDIF back into the LDB backend.
