NAME

+ make_codepage - Construct a codepage file for Samba +

SYNOPSIS

+ +

make_smbcodepage [c|d] codepage inputfile outputfile +

DESCRIPTION

+ +

This program is part of the Samba suite. +

make_smbcodepage compiles or de-compiles codepage files for use +with the internationalization features of Samba 2.0 +

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, eg. 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 +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 samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au. 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 : +

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.<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 2.0 of the Samba suite. +

AUTHOR

+ +

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by +Andrew Tridgell samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au. 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) and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy +Allison, samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au. +
