nbtstat(1Mtcp)
nbtstat --
get information about NetBIOS
Synopsis
nbtstat
[-a remote_host]
[-A IP_address]
[-c]
[-f lmhost_file]
[-i]
[-R]
[-s]
Description
The nbtstat command enables you to retrieve status information
directly from NetBIOS.
If you use nbtstat without any of its parameters, it
returns the contents of the local name table and
NetBIOS session status information.
If you use the -a option, nbtstat
returns the contents of the remote name table.
This utility is typically used
to check for erroneous information
when developing network applications.
For a detailed description of the nbtstat
output, see
``Viewing NetBIOS status'' in Configuring NetBIOS.
Options
-a remote_host-
Display the name table of the specified remote host.
-A IP_address-
Display the name table of the
remote host specified by its IP address.
-c-
List the current contents of the local name cache including IP
addresses. The output is suitable for use as the contents of the
lmhosts(4tcp)
file. NetBIOS names are output with non-printable characters replaced
by their hexadecimal equivalents with the format ``\0xnn''.
One of following flags may appear in the comment field:
UNI
-
unique name
GRP
-
group name
This may be followed by one of the following flags:
B
-
name query pending by broadcast
P
-
name query pending
R
-
name query pending with DNS resolver
The time shown in the comment field is the time in seconds since a
non-static name (a name that is not defined in /etc/lmhosts)
entered the cache.
-f lmhost_file-
Force NetBIOS to use the lmhosts file specified in
lmhost_file.
(The default lmhosts file is /etc/lmhosts).
-i-
If NetBIOS is defined to run over all interfaces
in /etc/inet/nb.conf (
NB_ADDR=""
; see
nb.conf(1Mtcp)),
force the NetBIOS daemon to reconfigure itself over all network interfaces
currently defined for the system.
-R-
Purge and reload the NetBIOS name cache without having to stop and then
restart NetBIOS.
-s-
Display just the session status information.
If you omit this option,
nbtstat also displays the local name table.
