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 |
