From a windows client it is easy and fast to obtain from a samba share
both the long filenames and the short 8.3 names by using DIR /x. Is
there a way for a Linux client to obtain this same information swiftly
for a large directory listing - or indeed for the samba server to show
this information? The only way I have found is using smbclient's altname
function but I seem to have to call this individually for each file,
which makes it very slow.
[In case you are wondering why anyone should want this info, it is to do
with an old DOS program which accesses a samba share.]
Thanks for any help
