This LDIF file is composed of the following parts:<br />
Component<br />
Version Specifier<br />
Description<br />
The first line of an LDIF file contains the version. Zero or more<br />
spaces are allowed between the colon and the version number,<br />
which is currently defined to be 1.<br />
If the version line is missing, any application processing the LDIF<br />
file is allowed to assume that the file is version 0. It’s also possible<br />
that the LDIF file could be rejected as syntactically incorrect.<br />
<strong>Novell</strong> utilities that process LDIF assume a file version of 0 when<br />
the version line is missing.<br />
Distinguished Name Specifier<br />
The first line of every content record (lines 2, 6, 11, and 16 in the<br />
example above) specifies the DN of the entry that it represents.<br />
The DN specifier must take one of the following two forms:<br />
• dn: safe_UTF-8_distinguished_name<br />
• dn:: Base64_encoded_distinguished_name<br />
Line Delimiters<br />
The line separator can be either a line feed or a carriage return/line<br />
feed pair. This resolves a common incompatibility between Linux<br />
and Solaris text files, which use a line feed as the line separator,<br />
and MS-DOS* and Windows text files, which use a carriage return/<br />
line feed pair as the line separator.<br />
