DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
smbstatus is a very simple program to list the current Samba connections.
OPTIONS
-P|--profile
If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print only the contents of the
profiling shared memory area.
-R|--profile-rates
If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print the contents of the
profiling shared memory area and the call rates.
-b|--brief
gives brief output.
-v|--verbose
gives verbose output.
-L|--locks
causes smbstatus to only list locks.
-B|--byterange
causes smbstatus to include byte range locks.
-p|--processes
print a list of smbd(8) processes and exit. Useful for scripting.
-S|--shares
causes smbstatus to only list shares.
-N|--notify
causes smbstatus to display registered file notifications
-f|--fast
causes smbstatus to not check if the status data is valid by checking if the processes
that the status data refer to all still exist. This speeds up execution on busy
systems and clusters but might display stale data of processes that died without
cleaning up properly.
-u|--user=<username>
selects information relevant to username only.
-n|--numeric
causes smbstatus to display numeric UIDs and GIDs instead of resolving them to names.
-j|--json
Output more detailed information in JSON format instead of human readable. The output
has the following format:

-?|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
--usage
Display brief usage message.
-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL
level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not specified
is 1 for client applications.
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
/etc/samba/smb.conf file.
--debug-stdout
This will redirect debug output to STDOUT. By default all clients are logging to
STDERR.
--configfile=<configuration file>
The file specified contains the configuration details required by the client. The
information in this file can be general for client and server or only provide client
specific like options such as client smb encrypt. See /etc/samba/smb.conf for more
information. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time.
--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. If a name
or a value includes a space, wrap whole --option=name=value into quotes.
-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.
--leak-report
Enable talloc leak reporting on exit.
--leak-report-full
Enable full talloc leak reporting on exit.
-V|--version
Prints the program version number.
