TinySMB-GC 0.1
May 2006
Developer Documentation
What is TinySMB-GC?
TinySMB-GC is a minimal implementation of the SMB protocol for the Nintendo Gamecube.
What does it do?
Essentially, TinySMB-GC enables network share support. This means that it will allow the
GameCube to connect to a shared folder on a Windows XP or linux samba box, and perform
basic file functions.
Known Restrictions
TinySMB-GC only supports the LM1.2X002 protocol. THIS IS NOT THE MOST SECURE!
However, it does NOT transmit your password over the wire, so it's reasonably safe.
How do I use it?
TinySMB-GC is developed with devkitPPC and libOGC, therefore you should be using this
development environment. Put simply, it won't work with anything else!
TinySMB-GC uses the TCP-raw form of SMB on port 445.
The Functions.
int SMB_Init (char *user, /*** The logon user - MUST have share access rights ***/
char *password, /*** PLEASE USE PASSWORD SECURITY! ***/
char *client, /*** Machine ID, whatever you want to call the GC ***/
char *server, /*** Machine ID of share server ***/
char *share, /*** Share ID ***/
char *IP); /*** IP of share server ***/
SMB_Init is used to establish the connection, authenticate and attach to the share.
Obviously, this must be called successfully before any other function.
void SMB_Destroy ();
SMB_Destroy takes care of releasing the internal socket of TinySMB-GC and should be
called when the SMB functions are no longer required.
int SMB_FindFirst (char *filename, /*** The file mask to search for ***/
unsigned short flags, /*** Search criteria flags ***/
SMBDIRENTRY * sdir); /*** An SMBDIRENTRY to hold directory information ***/
Similar to MS-Windows, to search for a file or directory, use this function to determine if the
file already exists. The SMBDIRENTRY simply holds basic information on each entry retrieved.
int SMB_FindNext (SMBDIRENTRY * sdir);
Called to continue a search started with SMB_FindFirst.
int SMB_FindClose ();
When all searches have completed, call SMB_FindClose to dispense with the search handle.
SMBFILE SMB_Open (char *filename, /*** The filename to open ***/
unsigned short access, /*** Access method ***/
unsigned short creation); /*** Creation flags ***/
This call will open a file on the share. Both reading and writing are supported.
Look at smb.h for information on the access and creation flags.
void SMB_Close (SMBFILE sfid);
Close a file previously opened with SMB_Open
int SMB_Read (char *buffer, int size, int offset, SMBFILE sfile);
Read from the file opened with SMB_Open.
int SMB_Write (char *buffer, int size, int offset, SMBFILE sfile);
Write to the file opened with SMB_Open.
NOTE: The offset value provides the missing seek function. However, the onus
is on the developer to maintain the offset value when reading / writing
sequentially.
You should also be aware that these functions should only be used to read/write
blocks up to 62Kbytes. Although it allows reading and writing of 4Gb files, it
does not support blocks larger then 16-bit - go figure!
