=head1 MODULINO: MOTIVATION AND DESCRIPTION
 
This software provides a subset of the features of smbclient.  The main
motivation for its existence was a limitation in smbclient causing a timeout
that precluded transfer of large files.
 
An especially useful way to apply this modulino is to invoke it as a
non-interactive command-line tool.  This can be an effective way to create cron
jobs for backup of data TO Samba shares.
 
As a module, it provides functions to conduct file transfers, get information on
Samba filesystem objects, and to perform validations on "SMB path specs," Samba
location identifiers of the form:
 
    smb://server/share/path/to/something
