Description

   The PMDF DIRSYNC/CONVERT command converts between LDIF format
   and other directory formats, such as ALL-IN-1, cc:Mail, PMDF
   databases, the DDS, comma-separated fields, LDAP, Microsoft
   Mail, and standard LDIF. The parameters for the command specify
   from which and to which format to convert, and in the case
   of file-based formats, the names of the files for input or
   output. Depending on the values of source and destination
   parameters, some other qualifiers can be available; see Valid
   PMDF DIRSYNC/CONVERT Qualifier Combinations. Note that these
   qualifiers must appear after the non-LDIF parameter; thus the
   general place to specify them is at the end of the command
   line.

   For instance, to dump an LDAP directory to an LDIF file, the
   command syntax would be:

$ PMDF DIRSYNC/CONVERT LDAP LDIF=ldap.ldif/OPTION=PMDF_TABLE:sync_ldap_option.

   where PMDF_TABLE:SYNC_LDAP_OPTION. is a file containing at least
   the mandatory options LDAP_SERVER, LDAP_USER, LDAP_PASSWORD, and
   LDAP_BASE. See the PMDF System Manager's Guide for a detailed
   discussion of these options; in brief, LDAP_SERVER specifies
   the (TCP/IP) name of the LDAP server and the port on which the
   LDAP server runs, LDAP_USER and LDAP_PASSWORD specify the name
   and password to use to bind to the LDAP server, and LDAP_BASE
   specifies the location in the Directory Information Tree of the
   subtree of information to be extracted.
