MAKE_SMBCODEPAGE !!!MAKE_SMBCODEPAGE NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS SAMBA CODEPAGE FILES FILES INSTALLATION VERSION SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME make_smbcodepage - construct a codepage file for Samba !!SYNOPSIS __make_smbcodepage c|d codepage inputfile outputfile__ !!DESCRIPTION This tool is part of the Sambasuite. __make_smbcodepage__ compiles or de-compiles codepage files for use with the internationalization features of Samba 2.2 !!OPTIONS __c|d__ This tells __make_smbcodepage__ if it is compiling (''c'') a text format code page file to binary, or (''d'') de-compiling a binary codepage file to text. __codepage__ This is the codepage we are processing (a number, e.g. 850). __inputfile__ This is the input file to process. In the ''c'' case this will be a text codepage definition file such as the ones found in the Samba ''source/codepages'' directory. In the ''d'' case this will be the binary format codepage definition file normally found in the ''lib/codepages'' directory in the Samba install directory path. __outputfile__ This is the output file to produce. !!SAMBA CODEPAGE FILES A text Samba codepage definition file is a description that tells Samba how to map from upper to lower case for characters greater than ascii 127 in the specified DOS code page. Note that for certain DOS codepages (437 for example) mapping from lower to upper case may be non-symmetrical. For example, in code page 437 lower case a acute maps to a plain upper case A when going from lower to upper case, but plain upper case A maps to plain lower case a when lower casing a character. A binary Samba codepage definition file is a binary representation of the same information, including a value that specifies what codepage this file is describing. As Samba does not yet use UNICODE (current for Samba version 2.2) you must specify the client code page that your DOS and Windows clients are using if you wish to have case insensitivity done correctly for your particular language. The default codepage Samba uses is 850 (Western European). Text codepage definition sample files are provided in the Samba distribution for codepages 437 (USA), 737 (Greek), 850 (Western European) 852 (MS-DOS Latin 2), 861 (Icelandic), 866 (Cyrillic), 932 (Kanji SJIS), 936 (Simplified Chinese), 949 (Hangul) and 950 (Traditional Chinese). Users are encouraged to write text codepage definition files for their own code pages and donate them to samba@samba.org. All codepage files in the Samba ''source/codepages'' directory are compiled and installed when a __'make install'__ command is issued there. The client codepage used by the __smbd__ server is configured using the __client code page__ parameter in the __smb.conf__ file. !!FILES __codepage_def.__ These are the input (text) codepage files provided in the Samba ''source/codepages'' directory. A text codepage definition file consists of multiple lines containing four fields. These fields are: __lower__: which is the (hex) lower case character mapped on this line. __upper__: which is the (hex) upper case character that the lower case character will map to. __map upper to lower__ which is a boolean value (put either True or False here) which tells Samba if it is to map the given upper case character to the given lower case character when lower casing a filename. __map lower to upper__ which is a boolean value (put either True or False here) which tells Samba if it is to map the given lower case character to the given upper case character when upper casing a filename. __codepage.__ - These are the output (binary) codepage files produced and placed in the Samba destination ''lib/codepage'' directory. !!INSTALLATION The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual system administrators. The following are thus suggestions only. It is recommended that the __make_smbcodepage__ program be installed under the ''/usr/local/samba'' hierarchy, in a directory readable by all, writeable only by root. The program itself should be executable by all. The program should NOT be setuid or setgid! !!VERSION This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite. !!SEE ALSO __smbd(8)__, smb.conf(5) !!AUTHOR The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed. The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ ----
