## 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  international
           ization 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  describ
           ing.

## 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  con
           taining two fields. These fields are :

           · character  - which is the (hex) character mapped on this
             line.

           · 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  desti
           nation lib/codepage directory.

           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, avail
           able          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
