DESCRIPTION¶

masktest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between Samba´s own implementation and that of a remote server. It will run generate random filenames/masks and check if these match the same files they do on the remote file as they do on the local server. It will display any differences it finds.

This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.
