	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>This tool is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

	<para><command>nmblookup4</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>
</refsect1>

<refsect1>
	<title>OPTIONS</title>

	<variablelist>
		<varlistentry>
		<term>-M</term>
		<listitem><para>Searches for a master browser by looking
		up the  NetBIOS name <replaceable>name</replaceable> with a
		type of <constant>0x1d</constant>. If <replaceable>
		name</replaceable> is "-" then it does a lookup on the special name
		<constant>__MSBROWSE__</constant>. Please note that in order to
		use the name "-", you need to make sure "-" isn't parsed as an
		argument, e.g. use :
		<userinput>nmblookup4 -M -- -</userinput>.</para></listitem>
		</varlistentry>

		<varlistentry>
		<term>-R</term>
		<listitem><para>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.
		</para></listitem>
		</varlistentry>

		<varlistentry>
		<term>-S</term>
		<listitem><para>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.
		</para></listitem>
		</varlistentry>


		<varlistentry>
		<term>-r</term>
		<listitem><para>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 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
		<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> daemon is running on this machine it also binds to this port.
		</para></listitem>
		</varlistentry>


		<varlistentry>
		<term>-A</term>
		<listitem><para>Interpret <replaceable>name</replaceable> as
		an IP Address and do a node status query on this address.</para>
		</listitem>
		</varlistentry>

		<varlistentry>
		<term>-B &lt;broadcast address&gt;</term>
		<listitem><para>Send the query to the given broadcast address. Without
		this option the default behavior of nmblookup4 is to send the
		query to the broadcast address of the network interfaces as
		either auto-detected or defined in the <ulink
		url="smb.conf.5.html#INTERFACES"><parameter>interfaces</parameter>
		</ulink> parameter of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smb.conf</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file.
		</para></listitem>
		</varlistentry>

		<varlistentry>
		<term>-U &lt;unicast address&gt;</term>
		<listitem><para>Do a unicast query to the specified address or
		host <replaceable>unicast address</replaceable>. This option
		(along with the <parameter>-R</parameter> option) is needed to
		query a WINS server.</para></listitem>
		</varlistentry>

		<varlistentry>
		<term>-T</term>
		<listitem><para>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</para>

		<para><emphasis>IP address .... NetBIOS name</emphasis></para>

		<para> pair that is the normal output.</para></listitem>
		</varlistentry>

		<varlistentry>
		<term>-f</term>
		<listitem><para>
		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.
		</para></listitem>
		</varlistentry>


		<varlistentry>
		<term>name</term>
		<listitem><para>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 '#&lt;type&gt;' to the name. This name may also be
		'*', which will return all registered names within a broadcast
		area.</para></listitem>

	<title>EXAMPLES</title>

		<para><command>nmblookup4</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>nmblookup4</command>
		must be called like this:</para>

		<para><command>nmblookup4 -U server -R 'name'</command></para>

		<para>For example, running :</para>

		<para><command>nmblookup4 -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>
