Crate smolder_tools 

High-level tools and integrations built on top of Smolder primitives.

The published package name is smolder, while the Rust library crate name remains smolder_tools.

It owns ergonomic SMB file APIs, remote execution, and CLI integrations. It depends on the smolder-smb-core package for SMB/RPC primitives rather than extending the core crate with tool-specific behavior.

Feature Flags

The main optional feature is:

• kerberos: enables Kerberos-capable high-level workflows and re-exports the Kerberos auth types from smolder-smb-core

This crate is the right entry point when you want:

• a higher-level SMB client builder and share/file API
• DFS-aware path handling and reconnect helpers
• operator workflows such as smbexec and psexec
• the standalone Smolder CLI binaries plus the smolder compatibility wrapper

Lower-level protocol and transport pieces remain in the smolder-smb-core and smolder-proto packages.

The most common public types are re-exported in prelude.

Start here

The fastest supported entry points are:

• cargo run -p smolder --example file_roundtrip
• cargo run -p smolder --features kerberos --example kerberos_share_list
• cargo run -p smolder --example interactive_psexec
