+ to check an <a href="smbd.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbd</span>(8)</span></a> configuration file for
+ internal correctness. If this program reports no problems, you

+ specified on the command line, this test program will run through
+ the service entries reporting whether the specified host
+ has access to each service. </p><p>If <span><strong class="command">testparm</strong></span> finds an error in the <code class="filename">
+ smb.conf</code> file it returns an exit code of 1 to the calling
+ program, else it returns an exit code of 0. This allows shell scripts
