libsmbclient
NAME
libsmbclient - An extension library for browsers and that can be used as a generic browsing API.
SYNOPSIS
Browser URL:.PP
smb://[[[domain:]user[:password@]]server[/share[/path[/file]]]] [?options]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the
samba(7)
suite.
libsmbclient
is a library toolset that permits applications to manipulate CIFS/SMB network resources using many of the standards POSIX functions available for manipulating local UNIX/Linux files. It permits much more than just browsing, files can be opened and read or written, permissions changed, file times modified, attributes and ACL's can be manipulated, and so on. Of course, its functionality includes all the capabilities commonly called browsing.
libsmbclient
can not be used directly from the command line, instead it provides an extension of the capabilities of tools such as file managers and browsers. This man page describes the configuration options for this tool so that the user may obtain greatest utility of use.
OPTIONS
What the URLs mean:
smb://
Shows all workgroups or domains that are visible in the network. The behavior matches that of the Microsoft Windows Explorer.
The method of locating the list of workgroups (domains also) varies depending on the setting of the context variable
smb://name/
This command causes libsmbclient to perform a name look-up. If the NAME<1D> or NAME<1B> exists (workgroup name), libsmbclient will list all servers in the workgroup (or domain). Otherwise, a name look-up for the NAME<20> (machine name) will be performed, and the list of shared resources on the server will be displayed.
When libsmbclient is invoked by an application it searches for a directory called
.smb
in the $HOME directory that is specified in the users shell environment. It then searches for a file called
smb.conf
which, if present, will fully over-ride the system
/etc/samba/smb.conf
file. If instead libsmbclient finds a file called
~/.smb/smb.conf.append, it will read the system
/etc/samba/smb.conf
and then append the contents of the
~/.smb/smb.conf.append
to it.
libsmbclient
will check the users shell environment for the
USER
parameter and will use its value when if the
user
parameter was not included in the URL.
