+module: ldap_inc
+short_description: Use the Modify-Increment LDAP V3 feature to increment an attribute value
+description:
+  - Atomically increments the value of an attribute and return its new value.
+notes:
+  - This only deals with integer attribute of an existing entry. To modify attributes
+    of an entry, see M(community.general.ldap_attrs) or to add or remove whole entries,
+    see M(community.general.ldap_entry).
+  - The default authentication settings will attempt to use a SASL EXTERNAL
+    bind over a UNIX domain socket. If you need to use a simple bind to access
+    your server, pass the credentials in O(bind_dn) and O(bind_pw).
