nmb.NetBIOSSession Objects

A nmb.NetBIOSSession object can be created using the following constructor.

NetBIOSSession(myname, remote_name, remote_host, host_type = nmb.TYPE_SERVER, sess_port = nmb.NETBIOS_SESSION_PORT)

Setup a NetBIOS over TCP/IP session between 2 NetBIOS names, myname and remote_name. Note that some machines might reject the connection if remote_name does not belong to their machines. remote_host should be a string containing the hostname or IP address of the remote machine. host_type is used to specify the type of the remote host.

nmb.NetBIOSSession objects has the following methods.

get_myname() -> string

Return the NetBIOS name of the local machine.

get_remote_name() -> string

Return the NetBIOS name of the remote machine.

get_remote_host() -> string

Return the hostname or IP address of the remote machine

close()

Close the current session. Any future read/write on this session will result in error.

send_packet(data)

Send a SMB data packet to the remote machine. The length of the data must not be more than 65535. Raises nmb.NetBIOSError if error occurs when sending the packet.

recv_packet(timeout = None) -> string

Attempts to read in a data packet within timeout (in secs). Raises nmb.NetBIOSTimeout when timeout (in secs) is reached before data is received. Raises nmb.NetBIOSError if error occurs when receiving the packet.
