Detailed Description

API methods for reading and writing LDIF files.

These API methods allow LDIF files to be read and written. Random access is permitted to input files after the first read-through, via DS_LDIF_Tell() and DS_LDIF_Seek().

Reading and writing change-records is supported. However, note that a single LDIF stream can either handle all change-records, or all normal-records, but not both at the same time. This applies to writing as well as reading.
