libsmbclient API for querying LMB?

Excellent advice, the following code worked great:

  smbc_init(auth_fn, 0);
  dh = smbc_opendir("smb://");
  while (dirptr = smbc_readdir( dh )) {
    printf ("type = %u, len = %u, commentlen = %u, comment =%s, namelen = %u, name = %s\n",
	    dirptr->smbc_type,
	    dirptr->dirlen,
	    dirptr->commentlen,
	    dirptr->comment,
	    dirptr->namelen,
	    dirptr->name);
  }

I have two questions:

1.  Does running smbc_readdir() multiple times result in multiple
    packets on the LAN?  Or does it cache and return?

2.  Is there a way to specify the ethernet interface used for the
    query?

Thanks!
