NAME
make_unicodemap - construct a unicode map file for Samba
SYNOPSIS
make_unicodemap codepage inputfile outputfile
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the Samba suite.
make_unicodemap compiles text unicode map files into binary
unicode map files for use with the internationalization
features of Samba 2.2.
OPTIONS
codepage
This is the codepage or UNIX character set we are
processing (a number, e.g. 850).
inputfile
This is the input file to process. This is a text
unicode map file such as the ones found in the Samba
source/codepages directory.
outputfile
This is the binary output file to produce.
SAMBA UNICODE MAP FILES
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.
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.
FILES
CP<codepage>.TXT
These are the input (text) unicode map files provided in the
Samba source/codepages directory.
A text unicode map file consists of multiple lines
containing two fields. These fields are :
o character - which is the (hex) character mapped on this
line.
o unicode - which is the (hex) 16 bit unicode character that
the character will map to.
unicode_map.<codepage> - These are the output (binary)
unicode map 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_unicodemap program be
installed under the $prefix/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 2.2 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were
created by Andrew Tridgell. 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, available at
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/
<URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the
Samba 2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to
DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
