ldapdelete :: LDAP Shell Commands
Description
Ldapdelete opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds and deletes one or more entries. The DNs of the entries to be deleted are passed as arguments or read from a file (with -f option). Without dn arguments or -f options, ldapdelete will read them from the standard input.
