First commit
ldiffdiff is a fast Go (golang) library and executable that outputs the difference between two LDIF files (LDAP). Binaries of the command implementation are provided under releases.
$ ./ldifdiff -h
ldifdiff v0.1.0 (Claudio Ramirez <pub.claudio@gmail.com>).
Compare two LDIF files and output the differences as a valid LDIF.

Usage:
ldifdiff <source> <target> [-i <attributes> ...] [-d]
ldifdiff -h
ldifdiff -v
Options:
-d, --dn
Only print DNs instead of a full LDIF.
-i <attributes>, --ignore <attributes>
Comma separated attribute list.
Multiple instances of this switch are allowed.

Download the library using go: go get github.com/nxadm/ldifdiff
Import the library into your project: import "github.com/nxadm/ldifdiff"
Compile the ldiff cmd implementation: cd cmd; go build -o ldifdiff ldifdiff.go
The API is simple and provides for functions.
func Diff(sourceStr, targetStr string, ignoreAttr []string) (string, error)
Diff compares two LDIF strings (sourceStr and targetStr) and outputs the differences as a LDIF string. An array of attributes can be supplied. These attributes will be ignored when comparing the LDIF strings. The output is a string, a valid LDIF, and can be added to the “target” database (the one that created targetStr) in order to make it equal to the source database (the one that created sourceStr). In case of failure, an error is provided.
func DiffFromFiles(sourceFile, targetFile string, ignoreAttr []string) (string, error)
DiffFromFiles compares two LDIF files (sourceFile and targetFile) and outputs the differences as a LDIF string. An array of attributes can be supplied. These attributes will be ignored when comparing the LDIF strings. The output is a string, a valid LDIF, and can be added to the “target” database (the one that created targetFile) in order to make it equal to the source database (the one that created sourceFile). In case of failure, an error is provided.
func ListDiffDn(sourceStr, targetStr string, ignoreAttr []string) ([]string, error)
ListDiffDn compares two LDIF strings (sourceStr and targetStr) and outputs the differences as a list of affected DNs (Dintinguished Names). An array of attributes can be supplied. These attributes will be ignored when comparing the LDIF strings. The output is a string slice. In case of failure, an error is provided.
func ListDiffDnFromFiles(sourceFile, targetFile string, ignoreAttr []string) ([]string, error)
ListDiffDnFromFiles compares two LDIF files (sourceFile and targetFileStr) and outputs the differences as a list of affected DNs (Dintinguished Names). An array of attributes can be supplied. These attributes will be ignored when comparing the LDIF strings. The output is a string slice. In case of failure, an error is provided.
