+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+
+.PP
+This tool is part of the \fBsamba\fR(7) suite\&.
+
+.PP
+\fBlibsmbclient\fR 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\&.
+
+.PP
+\fBlibsmbclient\fR 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\&.
+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+
+.PP
+What the URLs mean:
+
+.TP
+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 (context\->options\&.browse_max_lmb_count)\&. It is the responsibility of the application that calls this library to set this to a sensible value\&. This is a compile\-time option\&. This value determines the maximum number of local master browsers to query for the list of workgroups\&. In order to ensure that the list is complete for those present on the network, all master browsers must be querried\&. If there are a large number of workgroups on the network, the time spent querying will be significant\&. For small networks (just a few workgroups), it is suggested to set this value to 0, instructing libsmbclient to query all local master browsers\&. In an environment that has many workgroups a more reasonable setting may be around 3\&.
+
+.TP
+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\&.
+
+.PP
+When libsmbclient is invoked by an application it searches for a directory called\fI\&.smb\fR in the $HOME directory that is specified in the users shell environment\&. It then searches for a file called \fIsmb\&.conf\fR which, if present, will fully over\-ride the system \fI/etc/samba/smb\&.conf\fR file\&. If instead libsmbclient finds a file called \fI~/\&.smb/smb\&.conf\&.append\fR, it will read the system \fI/etc/samba/smb\&.conf\fR and then append the contents of the \fI~/\&.smb/smb\&.conf\&.append\fR to it\&.
+
+.PP
+\fBlibsmbclient\fR 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\&.

+.SH "VERSION"
+
+.PP
+This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.
+
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+
+.PP
+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\&.
+
+.PP
+The libsmbclient manpage page was written by John H Terpstra\&.
