You must be talking about someone else's ldapsearch command. The "-T" option has been documented in OpenLDAP since at least version 2.0.0. And as Quanah already noted, if you read the OpenLDAP ldapsearch manpage you'll see that there is another option to control line wrapping.

    I'm sorry I should've been more definitive.
    At one time ldapsearch provided an option to wrap long lines. By
    default, it breaks any line after the 76th character.
    I was looking for an option that provides that functionality


    Did you read the man page?  It is still possible to do

        Not sure what you mean by "hidden".  It is clearly documented in the
