In +the \fIc\fR case this will be a text +codepage definition file such as the ones found in the Samba +\fIsource/codepages\fR directory. In +the \fId\fR case this will be the +binary format codepage definition file normally found in +the \fIlib/codepages\fR directory in the +Samba install directory path. +.TP +\fBoutputfile\fR +This is the output file to produce. +.SH "SAMBA CODEPAGE FILES" +.PP +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. +.PP +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. +.PP +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 \fIsource/codepages\fR directory are +compiled and installed when a \fB'make install'\fR +command is issued there. +.PP +The client codepage used by the \fBsmbd\fR server +is configured using the \fBclient code page\fR parameter +in the \fBsmb.conf\fR file. +.SH "FILES" +.PP +\fBcodepage_def.<codepage>\fR +.PP +These are the input (text) codepage files provided in the +Samba \fIsource/codepages\fR directory. +.PP +A text codepage definition file consists of multiple lines +containing four fields.

The following are +thus suggestions only. +.PP +It is recommended that the \fBmake_smbcodepage +\fRprogram be installed under the \fI/usr/local/samba +\fRhierarchy, 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! +.SH "VERSION" +.PP +This man page is correct for version 2.2 of +the Samba suite. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\fBsmbd(8)\fR, +smb.conf(5) +.SH "AUTHOR" +.PP +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. +.PP +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 |
