Description

I'm migrating a product from Samba JCIFS, where a listing of available SMB shares is available by connecting without specifying a path. Is there a similar capability in SMBJ?

I've tried various "generic" arguments to session.connectShare(), e.g., null, "", "\", but to not avail.

And while I'm here, thank you got your excellent work on this project! It's available just in time.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the SMBJ library to determine how to list available disk shares without specifying a path. Look for any existing API methods or consider implementing support for the SMB2 `NetShareEnum` command.
