     NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
	  make_unicodemap - construct a	unicode	map file for Samba

     SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  make_unicodemap codepage inputfile outputfile

     DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
	  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    [Toc]    [Back]
	  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    [Toc]    [Back]
	  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    [Toc]    [Back]
	  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    [Toc]    [Back]
	  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    [Toc]    [Back]
	  This man page	is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba	suite.

     AUTHOR    [Toc]    [Back]
	  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
