Omit this option to supply the distinguished name of the entry to be deleted directly to the
command-line.

entry but, instead, to delete the actual entry containing the smart referral. For more information
about smart referrals, see the "Configuring Directory Databases" chapter in the HP-UX Directory
Server administrator guide.
-M
Specifies that the entries are not actually to be deleted, but that the ldapdelete utility is to show
what it would do with the specified input.
-n

-O 2
There is no maximum number of referral hops.
-O

only supports LDAPv2.
