NAME
vfstest - tool for testing samba VFS modules
SYNOPSIS
vfstest [-d debuglevel] [-c command] [-l logdir] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
vfstest 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.
OPTIONS
-c|--command=command
Execute the specified (colon-separated) commands. See
below for the commands that are available.
-h|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
-l|--logfile=logbasename
File name for log/debug files. The extension '.client'
will be appended. The log file is never removed by the
client.
-d|--debuglevel=level
level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if
this parameter is not specified is 0.
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 blue]log level] parameter in the smb.conf file.
-V|--version
Prints the program version number.
-s|--configfile <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 smb.conf for
more information. The default configuration file name is
determined at compile time.
-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.
