Hi,
I'd like slapd to be able to report the overlays and backends that are statically compiled into the binary. I am currently thinking about adding that to the -V option, e.g. if slapd is called with -VVV (-VV is already taken it seem) it lists the statically included overlays and backends additionally to the Version Information. Does that make sense or should be introduce another argument for that?
Note that this information is available from the monitor backend;
Yes. I was just looking for a way to get that information without having a properly configured slapd running.
I've a long standing patch in my working dir that allows to register dynamically loaded ones as well. No objection to using a command-line switch for this purpose. To avoid excessive overloading I'd recommend '-o <some parameter>', e.g. '-o static-feature={backend,overlay,all}'
I've chosen to go the -VVV route now as it seems a very good fit for outputting this kind information to me. But if you insist on using "-o static-feature" I'd be willing to change to that.
