Method: Ldaptic.encode

Defined in:
lib/ldaptic/escape.rb

.encode(value) ⇒ Object

Encode an object with LDAP semantics. Generally this is just to_s, but dates and booleans get special treatment.

If a symbol is passed in, underscores are replaced by dashes, aiding in bridging the gap between LDAP and Ruby conventions.
