The ldif-diff command reports differences between two LDIF files in LDIF format.
$ ldif-diff --sourceLDIF old.ldif --targetLDIF new.ldif dn: uid=user.0,ou=People,dc=example,dc=org changetype: modify add: initials initials: AAA - delete: initials initials: ASA - add: description description: This is the new description for Aaccf Amar. - delete: description description: This is the description for Aaccf Amar.
As the ldif-diff command reads both files into memory, constructing tree maps to perform the comparison, the command is designed to work with small files and fragments. The command can quickly run out of memory when calculating differences between large files.
