NAME

     netbiosd -- NetBIOS protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS

     netbiosd [options]

DESCRIPTION

     netbiosd is responsible for interacting with NetBIOS networks.  netbiosd registers and defends one or more NetBIOS name, depending on the set
     of configured services. It also browses and scavenges names from the NetBIOS network, making them available to the system through
     mDNSResponder.

OPTIONS

     -debug   The service will log extensive debug information and may perform extra diagnostic checks. This option is typically only useful for
	      debugging.

     -dump-packets
	      Pretty-print all sent and received NetBIOS packets to the output log. This option is typically only useful for debugging.

     -help    Prints a usage message and exits.

     -max-refresh
	      Maximum time (in seconds) between searches to refresh the workgroup list.

     -min-refresh
	      Minimum time (in seconds) between searches to refresh the workgroup list.

     -stdout  Causes netbiosd to print log messages to standard output instead of the system log.

FILES

     /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist
	      The primary configuration for the SMB stack. This file is updated by various system services and should not be edited by hand.

     /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.netbiosd.plist
	      The netbiosd service's property list file for launchd(8).

SIGNALS

     SIGHUP   This signal causes netbiosd to reconfigure. It will first unregister any NetBIOS names it has registered.  Then it will determine
	      its new set of NetBIOS names and register those.

     SIGUSR1  This signal causes netbiosd to toggle debug logging.

SEE ALSO

     launchd(8), mDNSResponder(8)

STANDARDS

     The TCP/UDP embodiment of the NetBIOS protocol is documented in

     RFC 1002
	      Protocol standard for a NetBIOS service on a TCP/UDP: Detailed Specifications, 1987

     RFC 1001
	      Protocol standard for a NetBIOS service on a TCP/UDP: Concepts and Methods, 1987

     The NetBIOS browsing protocol is documented as part of the Microsoft Work Group Server Protocol Program (WSPP) technical documentation set,
     specifically

     MS-BRWS  Common Internet File System (CIFS) Browser Protocol Specification

HISTORY

     The netbiosd utility first appeared in Mac OS 10.7.
