+.SH "NAME"
+nmblookup \- NetBIOS over TCP/IP client used to lookup NetBIOS names
+.PP
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+\fBnmblookup\fP [-M] [-R] [-S] [-r] [-A] [-h] [-B broadcast address] [-U unicast address] [-d debuglevel] [-s smb config file] [-i NetBIOS scope] name
+.PP
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This program is part of the \fBSamba\fP suite\&.
+.PP
+\fBnmblookup\fP is used to query NetBIOS names and map them to IP
+addresses in a network using NetBIOS over TCP/IP queries\&. The options
+allow the name queries to be directed at a particlar IP broadcast area
+or to a particular machine\&. All queries are done over UDP\&.
+.PP
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-M\fP"
+Searches for a master browser\&. This is done by doing a
+broadcast lookup on the special name \f(CW__MSBROWSE__\fP\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-R\fP"
+Set the recursion desired bit in the packet to do a
+recursive lookup\&. This is used when sending a name query to a machine
+running a WINS server and the user wishes to query the names in the
+WINS server\&. If this bit is unset the normal (broadcast responding)
+NetBIOS processing code on a machine is used instead\&. See rfc1001,
+rfc1002 for details\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-S\fP"
+Once the name query has returned an IP address then do a
+node status query as well\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-r\fP"
+Try and bind to UDP port 137 to send and receive UDP
+datagrams\&. The reason for this option is a bug in Windows 95 where it
+ignores the source port of the requesting packet and only replies to
+UDP port 137\&. Unfortunately, on most UNIX systems root privillage is
+needed to bind to this port, and in addition, if the
+\fBnmbd\fP daemon is running on this machine it also
+binds to this port\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-A\fP"
+Interpret <name> as an IP Address and do a node status
+query on this address\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-h\fP"
+Print a help (usage) message\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-B broadcast address\fP"
+Send the query to the given broadcast
+address\&. Without this option the default behavior of nmblookup is to
+send the query to the broadcast address of the primary network
+interface as either auto-detected or defined in the
+\fBinterfaces\fP parameter of the
+\fBsmb\&.conf (5)\fP file\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-U unicast address\fP"
+Do a unicast query to the specified
+address or host \f(CW"unicast address"\fP\&. This option (along with the
+\fB-R\fP option) is needed to query a WINS server\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-d debuglevel\fP"
+debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10\&.
+.IP
+The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero\&.
+.IP
+The higher this value, the more detail will be logged about the
+activities of \fBnmblookup\fP\&. At level 0, only critical errors and
+serious warnings will be logged\&.
+.IP
+Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
+should only be used when investigating a problem\&. Levels above 3 are
+designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of
+data, most of which is extremely cryptic\&.
+.IP
+Note that specifying this parameter here will override the \fBlog
+level\fP parameter in the \fBsmb\&.conf
+(5)\fP file\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-s smb\&.conf\fP"
+This parameter specifies the pathname to the
+Samba configuration file, smb\&.conf\&. This file controls all aspects of
+the Samba setup on the machine and smbclient also needs to read this
+file\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fB-i scope\fP"
+This specifies a NetBIOS scope that smbclient will use
+to communicate with when generating NetBIOS names\&. For details on the
+use of NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001\&.txt and rfc1002\&.txt\&. NetBIOS scopes
+are \fIvery\fP rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the
+system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you
+communicate with\&.
+.IP
+.IP "\fBname\fP"
+This is the NetBIOS name being queried\&. Depending upon
+the previous options this may be a NetBIOS name or IP address\&. If a
+NetBIOS name then the different name types may be specified by
+appending \f(CW#<type>\fP to the name\&.
+.IP
+.PP
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+\fBnmblookup\fP can be used to query a WINS server (in the same way \&.B
+nslookup is used to query DNS servers)\&. To query a WINS server,
+nmblookup must be called like this:
+.PP
+\f(CWnmblookup -U server -R \'name\'\fP
+.PP
+For example, running :
+.PP
+\f(CWnmblookup -U samba\&.anu\&.edu\&.au -R IRIX#1B\'\fP
+.PP
+would query the WINS server samba\&.anu\&.edu\&.au for the domain master
+browser (1B name type) for the IRIX workgroup\&.
+.PP
+.SH "VERSION"
+.PP
+This man page is correct for version 2\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.

+.SH "AUTHOR"
+.PP
+The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
+Andrew Tridgell (samba-bugs@samba\&.anu\&.edu\&.au)\&. Samba is now developed
+by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
+Linux kernel is developed\&.
+.PP
+The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer\&. The man page
+sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
+Source software) and updated for the Samba2\&.0 release by Jeremy
+Allison, \fIsamba-bugs@samba\&.anu\&.edu\&.au\fP\&.
+.PP
+See \fBsamba (7)\fP to find out how to get a full
+list of contributors and details on how to submit bug reports,
+comments etc\&.
