!!NAME


make_unicodemap - construct a unicode map file for Samba
!!SYNOPSIS


__make_unicodemap codepage inputfile
outputfile__
!!DESCRIPTION


This tool is part of the Samba suite.


__make_unicodemap__ compiles text unicode map files into
binary unicode map files for use with the
internationalization features of Samba 2.2.
!!OPTIONS


__codepage__


This is the codepage or UNIX character set we are processing
(a number, e.g. 850).


__inputfile__


This is the input file to process. This is a text unicode
map file such as the ones found in the Samba
''source/codepages'' directory.


__outputfile__


This is the binary output file to produce.
!!SAMBA UNICODE MAP FILES


A text Samba unicode map file is a description that tells
Samba how to map characters from a specified DOS code page
or UNIX character set to 16 bit unicode.


A binary Samba unicode map file is a binary representation
of the same information, including a value that specifies
what codepage or UNIX character set this file is
describing.
!!FILES


''CP''


These are the input (text) unicode map files provided in the
Samba ''source/codepages'' directory.


A text unicode map file consists of multiple lines
containing two fields. These fields are :


''character'' - which is the (hex) character mapped on
this line.


''unicode'' - which is the (hex) 16 bit unicode character
that the character will map to.


''unicode_map.'' - These are the output
(binary) unicode map 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_unicodemap__ program be
installed under the ''$prefix/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.

!!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/
