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?

I think -VVV is fine. Open to any other suggestions.

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.
