+.SS oplocks (S)
+This boolean option tells smbd whether to issue oplocks (opportunistic
+locks) to file open requests on this share. The oplock code was introduced in
+Samba 1.9.18 and can dramatically (approx 30% or more) improve the speed
+of access to files on Samba servers. It allows the clients to agressively
+cache files locally and you may want to disable this option for unreliable
+network environments (it is turned on by default in Windows NT Servers).
+For more information see the file Speed.txt in the Samba docs/ directory.

This integer value controls what level Samba advertises itself as for
browse elections. See BROWSING.txt for details.
