+
+ <para><command>nmblookup</command> 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
+ particular IP broadcast area or to a particular machine. All queries
+ are done over UDP.</para>

+ <para><command>nmblookup</command> can be used to query
+ a WINS server (in the same way <command>nslookup</command> is
+ used to query DNS servers). To query a WINS server, <command>nmblookup</command>
+ must be called like this:</para>
+
+ <para><command>nmblookup -U server -R 'name'</command></para>
+
+ <para>For example, running :</para>
+
+ <para><command>nmblookup -U samba.org -R 'IRIX#1B'</command></para>
+
+ <para>would query the WINS server samba.org for the domain
+ master browser (1B name type) for the IRIX workgroup.</para>

+ <title>AUTHOR</title>
+
+ <para>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.</para>
+
+ <para>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, available at <ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
+ ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
+ release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
+ Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook
+ XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</para>
