+.SH NAME
+nmblookup \- NetBIOS over TCP/IP client used to lookup NetBIOS names
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+\fBnmblookup\fR [ \fB-M\fR ] [ \fB-R\fR ] [ \fB-S\fR ] [ \fB-r\fR ] [ \fB-A\fR ] [ \fB-h\fR ] [ \fB-B <broadcast address>\fR ] [ \fB-U <unicast address>\fR ] [ \fB-d <debug level>\fR ] [ \fB-s <smb config file>\fR ] [ \fB-i <NetBIOS scope>\fR ] [ \fB-T\fR ] \fBname\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This tool is part of the Sambasuite.
+.PP
+\fBnmblookup\fR 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.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.TP
+\fB-M\fR
+Searches for a master browser by looking
+up the NetBIOS name \fIname\fR with a
+type of 0x1d. If \fI name\fR is "-" then it does a lookup on the special name
+__MSBROWSE__.
+.TP
+\fB-R\fR
+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.
+.TP
+\fB-S\fR
+Once the name query has returned an IP
+address then do a node status query as well. A node status
+query returns the NetBIOS names registered by a host.
+.TP
+\fB-r\fR
+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 privilege is needed to bind to this port, and
+in addition, if the nmbd(8)
+daemon is running on this machine it also binds to this port.
+.TP
+\fB-A\fR
+Interpret \fIname\fR as
+an IP Address and do a node status query on this address.
+.TP
+\fB-h\fR
+Print a help (usage) message.
+.TP
+\fB-B <broadcast address>\fR
+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 network interfaces as
+either auto-detected or defined in the \fIinterfaces\fR
+parameter of the \fIsmb.conf (5)\fR file.
+.TP
+\fB-U <unicast address>\fR
+Do a unicast query to the specified address or
+host \fIunicast address\fR. This option
+(along with the \fI-R\fR option) is needed to
+query a WINS server.
+.TP
+\fB-d <debuglevel>\fR
+debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10.
+
+The default value if this parameter is not specified
+is zero.
+
+The higher this value, the more detail will be logged
+about the activities of \fBnmblookup\fR. At level
+0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged.
+
+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.
+
+Note that specifying this parameter here will override
+the \fI log level\fRparameter in the \fI smb.conf(5)\fR file.
+.TP
+\fB-s <smb.conf>\fR
+This parameter specifies the pathname to
+the Samba configuration file, smb.conf(5). This file controls all aspects of
+the Samba setup on the machine.
+.TP
+\fB-i <scope>\fR
+This specifies a NetBIOS scope that
+\fBnmblookup\fR 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
+\fBvery\fR rarely used, only set this parameter
+if you are the system administrator in charge of all the
+NetBIOS systems you communicate with.
+.TP
+\fB-T\fR
+This causes any IP addresses found in the
+lookup to be looked up via a reverse DNS lookup into a
+DNS name, and printed out before each
+
+\fBIP address .... NetBIOS name\fR
+
+pair that is the normal output.
+.TP
+\fBname\fR
+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 '#<type>' to the name. This name may also be
+\&'*', which will return all registered names within a broadcast
+area.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+\fBnmblookup\fR can be used to query
+a WINS server (in the same way \fBnslookup\fR is
+used to query DNS servers). To query a WINS server,
+\fBnmblookup\fR must be called like this:
+.PP
+\fBnmblookup -U server -R 'name'\fR
+.PP
+For example, running :
+.PP
+\fBnmblookup -U samba.org -R 'IRIX#1B'\fR
+.PP
+would query the WINS server samba.org for the domain
+master browser (1B name type) for the IRIX workgroup.
+.SH "VERSION"
+.PP
+This man page is correct for version 2.2 of
+the Samba suite.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.PP
+\fBnmbd(8)\fR,
+samba(7)
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+.PP
+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.
+.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, available at
+ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
+release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
+Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
