The slapcat(8) manpage says:

	The entry records will include all (user and operational)
attributes stored in the database.

The slapcat(8) manpage says:

        -H  URI
               use dn, scope and  filter  from  URI  to  only  handle  matching
               entries.

It says nothing about using an attribute list in the URI.

Did you think we were just joking? That what the docs say is not what is 
actually meant?
