This tool is part of the cifs-utils suite.
smbinfo is a userspace helper program for the Linux SMB client file system (CIFS). It is intended to display SMB-specific file informations such as Security Descriptors and Quota.
This tool works by making an CIFS_QUERY_INFO IOCTL call to the Linux SMB client which in turn issues a SMB Query Info request and returns the result. This differs from getcifsacl which uses extended file attributes.
| -v | Print version number and exit. |
| -V | Verbose output. |
| -h | Print help explaining the command line options. |
fileaccessinfo: Prints the FileAccessInformation class
filealigninfo: Prints the FileAlignmentInformation class
fileallinfo: Prints the FileAllInformation class
filebasicinfo: Prints the FileBasicInformation class
fileeainfo: Prints the FileEaInformation class
filefsfullsizeinfo: Prints the FileFsFullSizeInformation class
fileinternalinfo: Prints the FileInternalInformation class
filemodeinfo: Prints the FileModeInformation class
filepositioninfo: Prints the FilePositionInformation class
filestandardinfo: Prints the FileStandardInformation class
filestreaminfo: Prints the FileStreamInformation class
fsctl-getobjid: Prints the ObjectID
getcompression: Prints the compression setting for the file.
setcompression -c <no|default|lznt1>: Sets the compression setting for the file.
list-snapshots: Lists the previous versions of the volume that backs this file
quota: Print the quota for the volume in the form - SID Length - Change Time - Quota Used - Quota Threshold - Quota Limit - SID
secdesc: Print the security descriptor in the form - Revision - Control - Owner SID - Group SID - ACL - File types - File flags
keys: Dump session id, encryption keys and decryption keys so that the SMB3 traffic of this mount can be decryped e.g. via wireshark (requires root).
gettconinfo: Prints both the TCON Id and Session Id for a cifs file.
Kernel support for smbinfo utilities requires the CIFS_QUERY_INFO IOCTL which was initially introduced in the 4.20 kernel and is only implemented for mount points using SMB2 or above (see mount.cifs(8) vers option).
mount.cifs(8), getcifsacl(1)
