5.2.2 Checking the Syntax of LDIF Files
You can check the syntax of an LDIF file before you process the records in the file by using the
Display Operations But Do Not Perform LDIF source handler option.
The LDIF source handler always checks the syntax of the records in an LDIF file as it processes
them. Using this option disables the processing of the records and lets you verify the syntax.
