make_smbcodepage

MAKE_SMBCODEPAGE(1)													       MAKE_SMBCODEPAGE(1)

NAME

       make_smbcodepage - construct a codepage file for Samba

SYNOPSIS

       make_smbcodepage c|d codepage inputfile outputfile

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the  Samba suite.

       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/code-
	      pages 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 (West-
       ern 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.<codepage>

       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:

       o lower: which is the (hex) lower case character mapped on this line.

       o upper: which is the (hex) upper case character that the lower case character will map to.

       o 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  char-
	 acter to the given lower case character when lower casing a filename.

       o 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 char-
	 acter to the given upper case character when upper casing a filename.

       codepage.<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.

       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/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
       release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
