NAME¶
vfstest - tool for testing samba VFS modules
SYNOPSIS¶
vfstest [-d debuglevel] [-c command]
[-l logdir] [-h]
DESCRIPTION¶
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
vfstest is a small command line utility that has the ability to
test dso samba VFS modules. It gives the user the ability to call the
various VFS functions manually and supports cascaded VFS modules.
OPTIONS¶
-c|--command=command
Execute the specified (semicolon-separated)
commands. See below for the commands that are available.
-?|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
-l|--logfile=logbasename
File name for log/debug files. The extension
´.client´ will be appended. The log file is never removed
by the client.
-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.
