No such option in OpenLDAP 2.4.23 as delivered with RHEL 6.

man ldapsearch shows the only general option documented is nettimeout

Use ldapsearch -o ldif-wrap=no instead.

RFC 2849 states:

   2)  Any non-empty line, including comment lines, in an LDIF file
       MAY be folded by inserting a line separator (SEP) and a

SPACE. Folding MUST NOT occur before the first character of the line. In other words, folding a line into two lines, the first of which is empty, is not permitted. Any line that begins with a single space MUST be treated as a continuation of the previous (non-empty) line. When joining folded lines, exactly one space character at the beginning of each continued line must be discarded. Implementations SHOULD NOT fold lines in the middle of a multi-byte UTF-8 character.

OpenLDAP (ldapsearch at least) has taken implemented that folding behavior for LDIF output.

This causes trouble for anyone trying to use 'ldapsearch | grep <something>' for one simple example.

Would you accept a patch to allow an option which disables line folding?
