.TH MAKE_UNICODEMAP 1 "26 Apr 2000" "make_unicodemap 2.0.7" .PP .SH "NAME" make_unicodemap \- Construct a unicode map file for Samba .PP .SH "SYNOPSIS" .PP \fBmake_unicodemap\fP codepage inputfile outputfile .PP .SH "DESCRIPTION" .PP This program is part of the \fBSamba\fP suite\&. .PP \fBmake_unicodemap\fP compiles text unicode map files into binary unicode map files for use with the internationalization features of Samba 2\&.0 .PP .SH "OPTIONS" .PP .IP .IP "codepage" This is the codepage or UNIX character set we are processing (a number, e\&.g\&. 850)\&. .IP .IP "inputfile" This is the input file to process\&. This is a text unicode map file such as the ones found in the Samba \fIsource/codepages\fP directory\&. .IP .IP "outputfile" This is the binary output file to produce\&. .IP .PP .SH "Samba Unicode Map Files" .PP 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\&. .PP 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\&. .PP .SH "FILES" .PP \fBCP<codepage>\&.TXT\fP .PP These are the input (text) unicode map files provided in the Samba \fIsource/codepages\fP directory\&. .PP A text unicode map file consists of multiple lines containing two fields\&. These fields are : .PP .IP .IP o \fBcharacter\fP: which is the (hex) character mapped on this line\&. .IP .IP o \fBunicode\fP: which is the (hex) 16 bit unicode character that the character will map to\&. .IP .PP \fBunicode_map\&.<codepage>\fP These are the output (binary) unicode map files produced and placed in the Samba destination \fIlib/codepage\fP directory\&. .PP .SH "INSTALLATION" .PP The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual system administrators\&. The following are thus suggestions only\&. .PP It is recommended that the \fBmake_unicodemap\fP program be installed under the \fI/usr/local/samba\fP 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! .PP .SH "VERSION" .PP This man page is correct for version 2\&.0 of the Samba suite\&. .PP .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fBsmb\&.conf(5)\fP, \fBsmbd (8)\fP .PP .SH "AUTHOR" .PP The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell samba@samba\&.org\&. 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 \fBftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/\fP) and updated for the Samba2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&. samba@samba\&.org\&. .PP See \fBsamba (7)\fP to find out how to get a full list of contributors and details on how to submit bug reports, comments etc\&.
