 EUDC, the “Emacs Unified Directory Client”, provides a common user
 interface to access directory servers using different directory
 protocols.
 
    Currently supported back-ends are:
 
    • LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
    • BBDB, Big Brother’s Insidious Database
 
    The main features of the EUDC interface are:
 
    • Queries using a customizable form
    • Inline query expansion (for instance you can expand a name to an
      email address in a mail message buffer using a server as an address
      book)
    • Multiple servers can be tried in turn until a match is found for an
      inline query
    • Fast minibuffer queries for email addresses and phone numbers
    • Interface to BBDB to let you insert server records into your own
      BBDB database (SeeBBDB (bbdb)Top.)
