15 smbinfo is a userspace helper program for the Linux SMB client file
16 system (CIFS). It is intended to display SMB-specific file informations
17 such as Security Descriptors and Quota.
18
19 This tool works by making an CIFS_QUERY_INFO IOCTL call to the Linux
20 SMB client which in turn issues a SMB Query Info request and returns
21 the result. This differs from getcifsacl which uses extended file at‐
22 tributes.
23
25 -v Print version number and exit.
26
27 -V Verbose output.
28
29 -h Print help explaining the command line options.

44 fileinternalinfo: Prints the FileInternalInformation class
45
46 filemodeinfo: Prints the FileModeInformation class
47
48 filepositioninfo: Prints the FilePositionInformation class
49
50 filestandardinfo: Prints the FileStandardInformation class
51
52 filestreaminfo: Prints the FileStreamInformation class
53
54 fsctl-getobjid: Prints the ObjectID
55
56 getcompression: Prints the compression setting for the file.
57
58 setcompression -c <no|default|lznt1>: Sets the compression setting for
59 the file.
60
61 list-snapshots: Lists the previous versions of the volume that backs
62 this file
63
64 quota: Print the quota for the volume in the form - SID Length - Change
65 Time - Quota Used - Quota Threshold - Quota Limit - SID
66
67 secdesc: Print the security descriptor in the form - Revision - Control
68 - Owner SID - Group SID - ACL - File types - File flags
69
70 keys: Dump session id, encryption keys and decryption keys so that the
71 SMB3 traffic of this mount can be decryped e.g. via wireshark (requires
72 root).
73
75 Kernel support for smbinfo utilities requires the CIFS_QUERY_INFO IOCTL
76 which was initially introduced in the 4.20 kernel and is only imple‐
77 mented for mount points using SMB2 or above (see mount.cifs(8) vers op‐
78 tion).

86 The Linux CIFS Mailing list is the preferred place to ask questions re‐
87 garding these programs.
