LIBSMBCLIENT(7) LIBSMBCLIENT(7)
NAME
libsmbclient - An extension library for browsers and that can be used
as a generic browsing API.
SYNOPSIS
Browser URL:.PP smb://[[[domain:]user[:pass-
word@]]server[/share[/path[/file]]]] [?options]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
libsmbclient is a library toolset that permits applications to manipu-
late CIFS/SMB network resources using many of the standards POSIX func-
tions available for manipulating local UNIX/Linux files. It permits
much more than just browsing, files can be opened and read or written,
permissions changed, file times modified, attributes and ACL's can be
manipulated, and so on. Of course, its functionality includes all the
capabilities commonly called browsing.
libsmbclient can not be used directly from the command line, instead it
provides an extension of the capabilities of tools such as file man-
agers and browsers. This man page describes the configuration options
for this tool so that the user may obtain greatest utility of use.
OPTIONS
What the URLs mean:
smb://
Shows all workgroups or domains that are visible in the network. The
behavior matches that of the Microsoft Windows Explorer.
The method of locating the list of workgroups (domains also) varies
depending on the setting of the context variable (con-
text->options.browse_max_lmb_count). It is the responsibility of the
application that calls this library to set this to a sensible value.
This is a compile-time option. This value determines the maximum
number of local master browsers to query for the list of workgroups.
In order to ensure that the list is complete for those present on
the network, all master browsers must be querried. If there are a
large number of workgroups on the network, the time spent querying
will be significant. For small networks (just a few workgroups), it
is suggested to set this value to 0, instructing libsmbclient to
query all local master browsers. In an environment that has many
workgroups a more reasonable setting may be around 3.
smb://name/
This command causes libsmbclient to perform a name look-up. If the
NAME<1D> or NAME<1B> exists (workgroup name), libsmbclient will list
all servers in the workgroup (or domain). Otherwise, a name look-up
for the NAME<20> (machine name) will be performed, and the list of
shared resources on the server will be displayed.
When libsmbclient is invoked by an application it searches for a direc-
tory called .smb in the $HOME directory that is specified in the users
shell environment. It then searches for a file called smb.conf which,
if present, will fully over-ride the system /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
If instead libsmbclient finds a file called ~/.smb/smb.conf.append, it
will read the system /etc/samba/smb.conf and then append the contents
of the ~/.smb/smb.conf.append to it.
libsmbclient will check the users shell environment for the USER param-
eter and will use its value when if the user parameter was not included
in the URL.

AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
The libsmbclient manpage page was written by John H Terpstra.
