NAME
       smbtree - A text based smb network browser

SYNOPSIS
       smbtree [-b] [-D] [-S]

DESCRIPTION
       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

       smbtree is a smb browser program in text mode. It is similar to the
       "Network Neighborhood" found on Windows computers. It prints a tree
       with all the known domains, the servers in those domains and the shares
       on the servers.

OPTIONS
       -b|--broadcast
	   Query network nodes by sending requests as broadcasts instead of
	   querying the local master browser.

       -D|--domains
	   Only print a list of all the domains known on broadcast or by the
	   master browser

       -S|--servers
	   Only print a list of all the domains and servers responding on
	   broadcast or known by the master browser.

       -d|--debuglevel=level
	   level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
	   parameter is not specified is 0.

	   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 smb.conf file.

       -V|--version
	   Prints the program version number.

       -s|--configfile=<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
	   smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name
	   is determined at compile time.

       -l|--log-basename=logdirectory
	   Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
	   will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
	   file is never removed by the client.

       --option=<name>=<value>
	   Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
	   command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
	   from the configuration file.

       -N|--no-pass
	   If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt
	   from the client to the user. This is useful when accessing a
	   service that does not require a password.

	   Unless a password is specified on the command line or this
	   parameter is specified, the client will request a password.

	   If a password is specified on the command line and this option is
	   also defined the password on the command line will be silently
	   ingnored and no password will be used.

       -k|--kerberos
	   Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an Active
	   Directory environment.

       -C|--use-ccache
	   Try to use the credentials cached by winbind.

       -A|--authentication-file=filename
	   This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the
	   username and password used in the connection. The format of the
	   file is

	       username = <value>
	       password = <value>
	       domain	= <value>

	   Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from
	   unwanted users.

       -U|--user=username[%password]
	   Sets the SMB username or username and password.

	   If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
	   client will first check the USER environment variable, then the
	   LOGNAME variable and if either exists, the string is uppercased. If
	   these environmental variables are not found, the username GUEST is
	   used.

	   A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the
	   plaintext of the username and password. This option is mainly
	   provided for scripts where the admin does not wish to pass the
	   credentials on the command line or via environment variables. If
	   this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file
	   restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A for more details.

	   Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on many
	   systems the command line of a running process may be seen via the
	   ps command. To be safe always allow rpcclient to prompt for a
	   password and type it in directly.

       -S|--signing on|off|required
	   Set the client signing state.

       -P|--machine-pass
	   Use stored machine account password.

       -e|--encrypt
	   This command line parameter requires the remote server support the
	   UNIX extensions or that the SMB3 protocol has been selected.
	   Requests that the connection be encrypted. Negotiates SMB
	   encryption using either SMB3 or POSIX extensions via GSSAPI. Uses
	   the given credentials for the encryption negotiation (either
	   kerberos or NTLMv1/v2 if given domain/username/password triple.
	   Fails the connection if encryption cannot be negotiated.

       --pw-nt-hash
	   The supplied password is the NT hash.

       -?|--help
	   Print a summary of command line options.

       --usage
	   Display brief usage message.
