-V[V] Print version info. If -VV is given, only the version

-d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapwhoami
must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option
to have any effect.
-n Show what would be done, but don't actually perform the
whoami operation. Useful for debugging in conjunction
with -v.
-v Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to
standard output.
-x Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
-D binddn

specifying the password on the command line.
-w passwd
Use passwd as the password for simple authentication.
-y passwdfile
Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for
simple authentication.
-H ldapuri
Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the

separated by whitespace or commas is expected.
-e [!]ext[=extparam]
-E [!]ext[=extparam]
Specify general extensions with -e and whoami extensions
with -E. ´!´ indicates criticality.
General extensions:
[!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter)
!authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
[!]bauthzid (RFC 3829 authzid control)
[!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
[!]manageDSAit
[!]noop
ppolicy
[!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
[!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
[!]relax
sessiontracking[=<username>]
abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
not really controls)

-R realm
Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The

Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind.
authzid must be one of the following formats:

-Y mech
Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication.
If it's not specified, the program will choose the best
mechanism the server knows.
