SMB2 TREE_CONNECT response MaximalAccess: file or directory access mask?

Question

I have hacked impacket a bit to provide access to the MaximalAccess field in the SMB2 TREE_CONNECT Response. However, I am wondering how to interpret this field. The docs say

Contains the maximal access for the user that establishes the tree connect  
on the share based on the share's permissions. This value takes the form as  
specified in section 2.2.13.1.  

and 2.2.13.1 says:

The SMB2 Access Mask Encoding in SMB2 is a 4-byte bit field value that  
contains an array of flags. An access mask can specify access for one of two  
basic groups: either for a file, pipe, or printer (specified in section  
2.2.13.1.1) or for a directory (specified in section 2.2.13.1.2). Each  
access mask MUST be a combination of zero or more of the bit positions  
that are shown below.  

So is the MaximalAccess mask one for file, pipe, or printer, or for a directory?
