tests: document AFP file information smoke coverage
Document the Linux smoke-test coverage for the newly implemented AFP Get File Information endpoint.\n\nThe WebSDK-documented NCP 0x2222/35/05 path now has a Linux libncp smoke test alongside the existing AFP Entry ID probe. Record the verified SYS:, SYS:PUBLIC, SYS:SYSTEM, and SYS:BURST cases and describe the read-only reply fields currently populated from Unix stat data and the optional libatalk helper wrappers.\n\nAlso update the AFP Entry ID smoke-test documentation to match the current default raw-path mode, where SYS:-style paths are sent with directory handle 0 and handle allocation is kept behind --alloc-handle for separate debugging.\n\nKeep the remaining AFP/Mac namespace work in TODO.md, including persistent CNID/AppleDouble entry IDs, Parent ID mapping, Finder Info/resource-fork semantics, AFP 2.0 file information, and Scan File Information coverage.\n\nThis is documentation-only and does not change AFP protocol behavior.

Linux NCP smoke tests

This directory contains optional Linux-side integration tests for endpoints that are easier to exercise from a Unix host than from the DOS test utilities.

The tests use the ncpfs/libncp client library. They are not built by default because they require the host ncpfs development headers/library and a running NetWare-compatible server.

Build with:

cmake -DMARS_NWE_BUILD_LINUX_TESTS=ON ...
cmake --build . --target afp_entry_id_smoke
cmake --build . --target afp_file_info_smoke

AFP Entry ID smoke test

afp_entry_id_smoke sends the WebSDK-documented NetWare AFP request:

NCP 0x2222/35/12  AFP Get Entry ID From Path Name

It uses libncp's NWRequestSimple() path, so it goes through the same client transport stack as other Linux ncpfs utilities.

Example:

./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC

The test accepts NetWare-style VOL:PATH arguments. By default it sends the supplied SYS:-style path directly with directory handle 0, matching the verified mars_nwe smoke-test path. --alloc-handle is available only for follow-up debugging of the separate directory-handle allocation path, and --dir-handle N expects a handle that is valid in the current connection.

Useful smoke cases for a standard MARS-NWE SYS volume are:

./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:
./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC
./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:SYSTEM
./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:BURST

A successful reply prints the request path, directory handle, and returned 32-bit AFP Entry ID. Server-side diagnostics currently mark stat-derived temporary IDs with fallback; that means the endpoint is reachable, but persistent CNID/AppleDouble entry-id storage is still future Mac-namespace work.

If the server was built without the optional Netatalk/libatalk backend, the endpoint is expected to return invalid namespace. To treat that as a successful negative smoke test, use:

./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke --allow-invalid-namespace -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC

For path-resolution negative tests, use --allow-invalid-path to accept the expected 0x9c Invalid Path completion.

AFP File Information smoke test

afp_file_info_smoke sends the WebSDK-documented NetWare AFP request:

NCP 0x2222/35/05  AFP Get File Information

It uses the same libncp NWRequestSimple() transport path as the Entry ID smoke test and sends raw SYS:-style path requests with directory handle 0. The server replies with the read-only AFP file information record currently implemented by mars_nwe: Entry ID, Parent ID, attributes, data/resource fork lengths, offspring count, fixed long/short names, and access rights.

Useful smoke cases for a standard MARS-NWE SYS volume are:

./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:
./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC
./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:SYSTEM
./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:BURST

The current implementation fills fields that can be derived from Unix stat(2) and the optional libatalk helper wrappers. Server-side diagnostics mark stat-derived temporary Entry IDs with fallback; Parent ID, persistent CNID/AppleDouble IDs, and fuller Finder Info/resource-fork semantics remain future Mac-namespace work.

If the server was built without the optional Netatalk/libatalk backend, use --allow-invalid-namespace for the expected negative test. Use --allow-invalid-path for path-resolution negative tests.
