| 38 | <para><command>testparm</command> is a very simple test program

| 39 | to check an <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
|

| 40 | <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> configuration file for
|
|---|
| 41 | internal correctness. If this program reports no problems, you
|

| 42 | can use the configuration file with confidence that <command>smbd
|

| 43 | </command> will successfully load the configuration file.</para>
