.SH DESCRIPTION
.I ldapwhoami
implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.
.LP
.B ldapwhoami
opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a whoami
operation.  
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-n

.TP
.B \-v
Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
.TP
.BI \-d \ debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to \fIdebuglevel\fP.
.B ldapwhoami
must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
.TP
.B \-x 
Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
.TP
.BI \-D \ binddn
Use the Distinguished Name \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the LDAP directory.
.TP

This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
.TP
.BI \-w \ passwd
Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password for simple authentication.
.TP
.BI \-y \ passwdfile
Use complete contents of \fIpasswdfile\fP as the password for
simple authentication.
.TP
.BI \-H \ ldapuri
Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the protocol/host/port
fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by whitespace or commas
is expected.
.TP
.BI \-h \ ldaphost
Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
