public class Ldif extends Directory
This class provides methods to read ldif data from an input stream. The stream is considered to be broken up into lines, starting at line 1 each of which contains an ldif item, start of attribute + value, continuation or record terminator (null line). Methods allow us to position in the stream, read an entire ldif record, or convert a record to a tabular form for processing. Various Directory methods probably have no meaning here, searches will typically fail with an exception or be ignored.
