- <para>
- <command>libsmbclient</command> is a library toolset that permits applications to manipulate CIFS/SMB network
- resources using many of the standards POSIX functions 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.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- <command>libsmbclient</command> can not be used directly from the command line, instead it provides an
- extension of the capabilities of tools such as file managers and browsers. This man page describes the
- configuration options for this tool so that the user may obtain greatest utility of use.

- </para>
-
- <variablelist>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>smb://</term>
- <listitem><para>
- Shows all workgroups or domains that are visible in the network. The behavior matches
- that of the Microsoft Windows Explorer.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The method of locating the list of workgroups (domains also) varies depending on the setting of
- the context variable <literal>(context-&gt;options.browse_max_lmb_count)</literal>. 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 queried. 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.
- </para></listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>smb://name/</term>
- <listitem><para>
- This command causes libsmbclient to perform a name look-up. If the NAME&lt;1D&gt; or
- NAME&lt;1B&gt; exists (workgroup name), libsmbclient will list all servers in the
- workgroup (or domain). Otherwise, a name look-up for the NAME&lt;20&gt; (machine name)
- will be performed, and the list of shared resources on the server will be displayed.
- </para></listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- </variablelist>
-
- <para>
- When libsmbclient is invoked by an application it searches for a directory called
- <filename>.smb</filename> in the $HOME directory that is specified in the users shell
- environment. It then searches for a file called <filename>smb.conf</filename> which,
- if present, will fully over-ride the system <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file. If
- instead libsmbclient finds a file called <filename>~/.smb/smb.conf.append</filename>,
- it will read the system <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> and then append the
- contents of the <filename>~/.smb/smb.conf.append</filename> to it.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- <command>libsmbclient</command> will check the users shell environment for the <literal>USER</literal>
- parameter and will use its value when if the <literal>user</literal> parameter was not included
- in the URL.
