NAME

6       vfstest - tool for testing samba VFS modules
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vfstest [-d debuglevel] [-c command] [-l logdir] [-h]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
13
14       vfstest is a small command line utility that has the ability to test
15       dso samba VFS modules. It gives the user the ability to call the
16       various VFS functions manually and supports cascaded VFS modules.

OPTIONS

19       -c|--command=command
20           Execute the specified (semicolon-separated) commands. See below for
21           the commands that are available.
22
23       -?|--help
24           Print a summary of command line options.
25
26       -l|--logfile=logbasename
27           File name for log/debug files. The extension ´.client´ will be
28           appended. The log file is never removed by the client.
29
30       -d|--debuglevel=level
31           level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
32           parameter is not specified is 0.
33
34           The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
35           files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical
36           errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable
37           level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
38           information about operations carried out.
39
40           Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
41           should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3
42           are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts
43           of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
44
45           Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log
46           level parameter in the smb.conf file.
47
48       -V|--version
49           Prints the program version number.
50
51       -s|--configfile=<configuration file>
52           The file specified contains the configuration details required by
53           the server. The information in this file includes server-specific
54           information such as what printcap file to use, as well as
55           descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide. See
56           smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name
57           is determined at compile time.
58
59       -l|--log-basename=logdirectory
60           Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
61           will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
62           file is never removed by the client.
63
64       --option=<name>=<value>
65           Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
66           command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
67           from the configuration file.
