In fact, you should do it in two steps:

1. retrieve the dn of the (sub)schema which is controlling the entry:

ldapsearch -s base -LLL -H ldap://ldaphost.myorg.com -x -b
"cn=entry,o=which I am interested in"  subschemaSubentry

For openldap, this will give you (in the default configuration):
[...]
subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema

2. Now, you can search the schema:

ldapsearch -LLL -s base -H ldap://pygar -x -b "cn=Subschema"  <xyz>

where <xyz> is one of objectClasses, attributeTypes, matchingRules, and
ldapSyntaxes (for openldap; there may be other attributes allowed for
other servers).

Hope that helps,

Hans
