Note that for certain DOS +codepages (437 for example) mapping from lower to upper case may be +asynchronous. 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 maps +from plain upper case A 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 2.0) 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 email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). All codepage files in the +Samba em(source/codepages) directory are compiled and installed when a +em('make install') command is issued there. + +manpagefiles() + +bf(codepage_def.<codepage>) + +These are the input (text) codepage files provided in the Samba +em(source/codepages) directory. + +A text codepage definition file consists of multiple lines +containing four fields.

The following are thus suggestions +only. + +It is recommended that the bf(make_smbcodepage) program be installed +under the em(/usr/local/samba) hierarchy, in a directory readable by +all, writeable only by root. The program itself should be executable +by all.

These notes will +necessarily lag behind development of the software, so it is possible +that your version of the program has extensions or parameter semantics +that differ from or are not covered by this man page. Please notify +these to the address below for rectification. + +manpageseealso() + +bf(smb.conf)(5), bf(smbd) (8) + +manpageauthor() + +The bf(make_smbcodepage) program was written by Jeremy Allison (email +email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au)) as part of the +internationalization effort of the Samba software package. + +Please send bug reports to email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). |
