<h2>NAME</h2>
    make_unicodemap - Construct a unicode map file for Samba
<p><a name="SYNOPSIS"></a>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
     
<p><strong>make_unicodemap</strong> <a href="make_unicodemap.1.html#codepage">codepage</a> <a href="make_unicodemap.1.html#inputfile">inputfile</a> <a href="make_unicodemap.1.html#outputfile">outputfile</a>
<p><a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
    
<p>This program is part of the <strong>Samba</strong> suite.
<p><strong>make_unicodemap</strong> compiles text unicode map files into binary unicode
map files for use with the internationalization features of Samba 2.0
<p><a name="OPTIONS"></a>
<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
    
<p><dl>
<p><a name="codepage"></a>
<p></p><dt><strong>codepage</strong><dd> This is the codepage or UNIX character set we are processing (a number, e.g. 850).
<p><a name="inputfile"></a>
<p></p><dt><strong>inputfile</strong><dd> This is the input file to process. This is a text unicode map file
such as the ones found in the Samba <em>source/codepages</em> directory.
<p><a name="outputfile"></a>
<p></p><dt><strong>outputfile</strong><dd> This is the binary output file to produce.
<p></dl>
<p><a name="SambaCodepageFiles"></a>
<h2>Samba Unicode Map Files</h2>
    
<p>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.
<p>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.
<p><a name="FILES"></a>
<h2>FILES</h2>
    
<p><strong>CP&lt;codepage&gt;.TXT</strong>
<p>These are the input (text) unicode map files provided in the Samba
<em>source/codepages</em> directory.
<p>A text unicode map file consists of multiple lines
containing two fields. These fields are : 
<p><dl>
<p><li > <strong>character</strong>: which is the (hex) character mapped on this
line.
<p><li > <strong>unicode</strong>: which is the (hex) 16 bit unicode character that the
character will map to.
<p></dl>
<p><strong>unicode_map.&lt;codepage&gt;</strong> These are the output (binary) unicode map files
produced and placed in the Samba destination <em>lib/codepage</em>
directory.
<p><a name="INSTALLATION"></a>
<h2>INSTALLATION</h2>
    
<p>The location of the server and its support files is a matter for
individual system administrators. The following are thus suggestions
only.
<p>It is recommended that the <strong>make_unicodemap</strong> program be installed
under the <em>/usr/local/samba</em> 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!
<p><a name="VERSION"></a>
<h2>VERSION</h2>
    
<p>This man page is correct for version 2.0 of the Samba suite.

<h2>AUTHOR</h2>
    
<p>The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell <a href="mailto:samba@samba.org"><em>samba@samba.org</em></a>. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
Linux kernel is developed.
<p>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
<a href="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/"><strong>ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</strong></a>)
and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy Allison.
