(ITS#4371) ldapsearch man page

Version: 2.3.18

Submission from: (NULL) (128.83.217.14)


Here is a partial patch where I've tried to make doc/man/man1/ldapsearch.1 a
little more internally consistent and add in some useful info from the
ldapsearch.c source and from tools/clients/common.c

Still possibly in need of revision are -T and -F.  If I understood them
correctly, they seem a bit redundant and confusing, but the documentation ought
to follow functionality in this case.  Also the trailing slash on urlpre /
def_urlpre in ldapsearch.c muddles matters.  Maybe urlize should strip redundant
trailing slashes?

I wasn't sure whether some of the options inherited from clients/tools/common.c
were applicable to all clients and figure that an ldaptools(1) man page might
eventually exist to catch things like -k|K, -c, -C, etc.
