-<p><strong>testparm</strong> [<a href="testparm.1.html#minuss">-s</a>] [<a href="testparm.1.html#minush">-h</a>] [<a href="testparm.1.html#minusL">-L servername</a>] [<a href="testparm.1.html#configfilename">configfilename</a>] [<a href="testparm.1.html#hostname">hostname</a> <a href="testparm.1.html#hostIP">hostIP</a>]
-<p><a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
-<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
-
-<p>This program is part of the <strong>Samba</strong> suite.
-<p><strong>testparm</strong> is a very simple test program to check an
-<a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong></a> configuration file for internal
-correctness. If this program reports no problems, you can use the
-configuration file with confidence that <a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong></a>
-will successfully load the configuration file.
-<p>Note that this is <em>NOT</em> a guarantee that the services specified in the
-configuration file will be available or will operate as expected.
-<p>If the optional host name and host IP address are specified on the
-command line, this test program will run through the service entries
-reporting whether the specified host has access to each service.
-<p>If <strong>testparm</strong> finds an error in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a>
-file it returns an exit code of 1 to the calling program, else it returns
-an exit code of 0. This allows shell scripts to test the output from
-<strong>testparm</strong>.
-<p><a name="OPTIONS"></a>
-<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
-
-<p><dl>
-<p><a name="minuss"></a>
-<p></p><dt><strong><strong>-s</strong></strong><dd> Without this option, <strong>testparm</strong> will prompt for a
-carriage return after printing the service names and before dumping
-the service definitions.
-<p><a name="minush"></a>
-<p></p><dt><strong><strong>-h</strong></strong><dd> Print usage message
-<p><a name="minusL"></a>
-<p></p><dt><strong><strong>-L servername</strong></strong><dd> Sets the value of the %L macro to servername. This
-is useful for testing include files specified with the %L macro.
-<p><a name="configfilename"></a>
-<p></p><dt><strong><strong>configfilename</strong></strong><dd> This is the name of the configuration file to
-check. If this parameter is not present then the default
-<a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a> file will be checked.
-<p><a name="hostname"></a>
-<p></p><dt><strong><strong>hostname</strong></strong><dd> If this parameter and the following are specified,
-then testparm will examine the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#hostsallow"><strong>"hosts
-allow"</strong></a> and <a href="smb.conf.5.html#hostsdeny"><strong>"hosts
-deny"</strong></a> parameters in the
-<a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a> file to determine if the hostname
-with this IP address would be allowed access to the
-<a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong></a> server. If this parameter is supplied, the
-<a href="testparm.1.html#hostIP">hostIP</a> parameter must also be supplied.
-<p><a name="hostIP"></a>
-<p></p><dt><strong><strong>hostIP</strong></strong><dd> This is the IP address of the host specified in the
-previous parameter. This address must be supplied if the hostname
-parameter is supplied.
-<p></dl>
-<p><a name="FILES"></a>
-<h2>FILES</h2>
-
-<p><a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a>. This is usually the name of the
-configuration file used by <a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong></a>.
-<p><a name="DIAGNOSTICS"></a>
-<h2>DIAGNOSTICS</h2>
-
-<p>The program will issue a message saying whether the configuration file
-loaded OK or not. This message may be preceded by errors and warnings
-if the file did not load. If the file was loaded OK, the program then
-dumps all known service details to stdout.
-<p><a name="VERSION"></a>
-<h2>VERSION</h2>
-
-<p>This man page is correct for version 2.0 of the Samba suite.

-<p>The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
-Andrew Tridgell <a href="mailto:samba@samba.org"><em>samba@samba.org</em></a>. Samba is now developed
-by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
-Linux kernel is developed.
-<p>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page
-sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
-Source software, available at
-<a href="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/"><strong>ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</strong></a>)
-and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy Allison.
