-\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\&.

+\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\&.
-
-
-.TP
--V
-Prints the version number for \fBsmbd\fR\&.
-
-
-.TP
--s <configuration file>
-The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server\&. The information in this file includes server-specific information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide\&. See \fI smb\&.conf(5)\fR for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.
-
-
-.TP
--d|--debug=debuglevel
-\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 parameter in the \fIsmb\&.conf(5)\fR file\&.
-
-
-.TP
--l|--logfile=logbasename
-File name for log/debug files\&. The extension \fB"\&.client"\fR will be appended\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&.
-
-
-.TP
--T
-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
--f
-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
-name
-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\&.
-

+\fB-M\fR
+Searches for a master browser by looking

+\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
