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

man ldapsearch shows the only general option documented is nettimeout

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?
