    This tool is a ldap client targeted to validate the reliability of
    the product under test under hard use.

    The valid options are:
     -a  Asynchronous mode, with max pending operations.
     -b  Give the base DN to use. Default "dc=example,dc=com".
     -D  Bind DN. See -w
     -E  Max errors allowed.                   Default 1000.
