.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
This tool is part of the \fBsamba\fR(7) suite\&.

.PP
\fBvfstest\fR 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\&.

.SH "OPTIONS"

.TP
\-c|\-\-command=command
Execute the specified (colon\-separated) commands\&. See below for the commands that are available\&.

.TP
\-h|\-\-help
Print a summary of command line options\&.

.TP
\-l|\-\-logfile=logbasename
File name for log/debug files\&. The extension\fB'\&.client'\fR will be appended\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&.

.TP
\-V
Prints the program version number\&.

.TP
\-s <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 \fIsmb\&.conf\fR for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.

.TP
\-d|\-\-debug=debuglevel
\fIdebuglevel\fR is an integer from 0 to 10\&. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero\&.

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 \fIsmb\&.conf\fR file\&.

.TP
\-l|\-\-logfile=logdirectory
Base directory name for log/debug files\&. The extension \fB"\&.progname"\fR will be appended (e\&.g\&. log\&.smbclient, log\&.smbd, etc\&.\&.\&.)\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&.
