-\fBnmblookup\fR is used to query NetBIOS names

+\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
+-M
+Searches for a master browser by looking up the NetBIOS name \fIname\fR with a type of \fB0x1d\fR\&. If \fI name\fR is "-" then it does a lookup on the special name \fB__MSBROWSE__\fR\&. Please note that in order to use the name "-", you need to make sure "-" isn't parsed as an argument, e\&.g\&. use : \fBnmblookup -M -- -\fR\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-R
+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
+-S
+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
+-r
+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 \fBnmbd\fR(8) daemon is running on this machine it also binds to this port\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-A
+Interpret \fIname\fR as an IP Address and do a node status query on this address\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-n <primary NetBIOS name>
+This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself\&. This is identical to setting the \fINetBIOS name\fR parameter in the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) file\&. However, a command line setting will take precedence over settings in \fBsmb.conf\fR(5)\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-i <scope>
+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
+-W|--workgroup=domain
+Set the SMB domain of the username\&. This overrides the default domain which is the domain defined in smb\&.conf\&. If the domain specified is the same as the servers NetBIOS name, it causes the client to log on using the servers local SAM (as opposed to the Domain SAM)\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-O socket options
+TCP socket options to set on the client socket\&. See the socket options parameter in the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) manual page for the list of valid options\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-h|--help
+Print a summary of command line options\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-B <broadcast address>
+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 \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) file\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-U <unicast address>
+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\&.
+

-\fB-d|--debug=debuglevel\fR
-\fIdebuglevel\fR 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 to the log files about the activities of the
-server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious
-warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for
-day to day running - it generates a small amount of
-information about operations carried out.
-
-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 log
-data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
-
-Note that specifying this parameter here will
-override the log
-level file.
-.TP
-\fB-l|--logfile=logbasename\fR
-File name for log/debug files. The extension
-".client" will be appended. The log file is
-never removed by the client.
-.TP

-DNS name, and printed out before each
-
-\fBIP address .... NetBIOS name\fR

-pair that is the normal output.
-.TP
-\fB-f\fR
-Show which flags apply to the name that has been looked up. Possible
-answers are zero or more of: Response, Authoritative,
-Truncated, Recursion_Desired, Recursion_Available, Broadcast.
-.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.
