samba - Oct 2001 - nmblookup status meaning

Hi,

I'm the author of lisa (http://lisa-home.sourceforge.net).
Currently I'm trying to include netbios name lookup into my program and am 
using the sources from nmblookup.

Can you please help me ?

What is the meaning of these status flags and the status type or why can I 
find docs ?

printf("%s <%x> - %s\n", 
         cleanname, 
         status[i].type,      //   <----- this one 
          node_status_flags(status[i].flags));

char *node_status_flags(unsigned char flags)
{
   static fstring ret;
   strcpy(ret,"");
// and these flags 
   strcat(ret, (flags & 0x80) ? "<GROUP> " : "       
");
   if ((flags & 0x60) == 0x00) strcat(ret,"B ");
   if ((flags & 0x60) == 0x20) strcat(ret,"P ");
   if ((flags & 0x60) == 0x40) strcat(ret,"M ");
   if ((flags & 0x60) == 0x60) strcat(ret,"H ");
   if (flags & 0x10) strcat(ret,"<DEREGISTERING> ");
   if (flags & 0x08) strcat(ret,"<CONFLICT> ");
   if (flags & 0x04) strcat(ret,"<ACTIVE> ");

   if (flags & 0x02) strcat(ret,"<PERMANENT> ");

   return ret;
}

nmblookup for my machine produces the following, and I don't know how to 
interpret it.

received 7 names
        ALEX2_PC        <00> -         B <ACTIVE>
        ALEX2_PC        <03> -         B <ACTIVE>
        ALEX2_PC        <20> -         B <ACTIVE>
        ..__MSBROWSE__. <01> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
        HAUSQ           <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
        HAUSQ           <1d> -         B <ACTIVE>
        HAUSQ           <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>


Thanks
Alex

The resource byte.  See msdn.microsoft.com or the NT Resource Kit.

The netbios node type (see rfc1001/1002)

These are our own internal flags IIRC relating to the registration
status of the name.
