4 make_unicodemap \- Construct a unicode map file for Samba
8 \fBmake_unicodemap\fP codepage inputfile outputfile
12 This program is part of the \fBSamba\fP suite\&.
14 \fBmake_unicodemap\fP compiles text unicode map files into binary unicode
15 map files for use with the internationalization features of Samba 2\&.0
21 This is the codepage or UNIX character set we are processing (a number, e\&.g\&. 850)\&.
24 This is the input file to process\&. This is a text unicode map file
25 such as the ones found in the Samba \fIsource/codepages\fP directory\&.
28 This is the binary output file to produce\&.
31 .SH "Samba Unicode Map Files"
33 A text Samba unicode map file is a description that tells
34 Samba how to map characters from a specified DOS code page or UNIX character
35 set to 16 bit unicode\&.
37 A binary Samba unicode map file is a binary representation of
38 the same information, including a value that specifies what codepage
39 or UNIX character set this file is describing\&.
43 \fBCP<codepage>\&.TXT\fP
45 These are the input (text) unicode map files provided in the Samba
46 \fIsource/codepages\fP directory\&.
48 A text unicode map file consists of multiple lines
49 containing two fields\&. These fields are :
53 \fBcharacter\fP: which is the (hex) character mapped on this
57 \fBunicode\fP: which is the (hex) 16 bit unicode character that the
58 character will map to\&.
61 \fBunicode_map\&.<codepage>\fP These are the output (binary) unicode map files
62 produced and placed in the Samba destination \fIlib/codepage\fP
67 The location of the server and its support files is a matter for
68 individual system administrators\&. The following are thus suggestions
71 It is recommended that the \fBmake_unicodemap\fP program be installed
72 under the \fI/usr/local/samba\fP hierarchy, in a directory readable by
73 all, writeable only by root\&. The program itself should be executable
74 by all\&. The program should NOT be setuid or setgid!
78 This man page is correct for version 2\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.

86 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
87 Andrew Tridgell samba@samba\&.org\&. Samba is now developed
88 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
89 Linux kernel is developed\&.
91 The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer\&. The man page
92 sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
93 Source software, available at
94 \fBftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/\fP)
95 and updated for the Samba2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&.
