26 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
28 <para>This VFS module is part of the
29 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
30 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
32 <para>The Catia CAD package commonly creates filenames that
33 use characters that are illegal in CIFS filenames. The
34 <command>vfs_catia</command> VFS module implements a character
35 mapping so that these files can be shared with CIFS clients.
38 <para>This module is stackable.</para>
40 <para>Up to samba version 3.4.x a fixed character mapping was used.
41 The invalid windows characters \ / : * ? " < > | and the blank
42 character were mapped in a hardcoded way.
45 <para>Starting with samba-3.5.0 a more flexible mapping was introduced.
46 The new parameter "catia:mappings" now specifies the mapping on a char by char
47 basis using the notation: unix hex char 0x.. : windows hex char 0x..
48 Multiple character mappings are separated by a comma.

58 <para>Samba versions up to 3.4.x:</para>
59 <para>Map Catia filenames on the [CAD] share:</para>
62 <smbconfsection name="[CAD]"/>
63 <smbconfoption name="path">/data/cad</smbconfoption>
64 <smbconfoption name="vfs objects">catia</smbconfoption>
67 <para>Samba versions 3.5.0 and later:</para>
68 <para>Map Catia filenames on the [CAD] share:</para>
71 <smbconfsection name="[CAD]"/>
72 <smbconfoption name="path">/data/cad</smbconfoption>
73 <smbconfoption name="vfs objects">catia</smbconfoption>
74 <smbconfoption name="catia:mappings">0x22:0xa8</smbconfoption>
77 <para>To get the full formerly fixed mappings:</para>
79 <smbconfsection name="[CAD]"/>
80 <smbconfoption name="path">/data/cad</smbconfoption>
81 <smbconfoption name="vfs objects">catia</smbconfoption>
82 <smbconfoption name="catia:mappings">0x22:0xa8,0x2a:0xa4,0x2f:0xf8,0x3a:0xf7,0x3c:0xab,0x3e:0xbb,0x3f:0xbf,0x5c:0xff,0x7c:0xa6,0x20:0xb1</smbconfoption>
85 <para>Unix filename to be translated (Note that the path delimiter "/" is not used here):
87 <para>a\a:a*a?a"a<a>a|a a</para>
89 <para>Resulting windows filename:</para>
91 <para>aÿa÷a¤a¿a¨a«a»a¦a±a
94 <para>Note that the character mapping must work in BOTH directions
95 (unix -> windows and windows -> unix) to get unique and existing file names!
98 <para>A NOT working example:</para>
101 <smbconfsection name="[CAD]"/>
102 <smbconfoption name="path">/data/cad</smbconfoption>
103 <smbconfoption name="vfs objects">catia</smbconfoption>
104 <smbconfoption name="catia:mappings">0x3a:0x5f</smbconfoption>
107 <para>Here the colon ":" is mapped to the underscore "_".</para>
108 <para>Assuming a unix filename "a:should_work", which is well translated
109 to windows as "a_should_work".</para>
110 <para>BUT the reverse mapping from windows "a_should_work" to unix
111 will result in "a:should:work" - something like "file not found"
118 <title>VERSION</title>
120 <para>This man page is correct for all versions up to 4.0.3 of the Samba suite.
125 <title>AUTHOR</title>
127 <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
128 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
129 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
130 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
