make_smbcodepage

make_smbcodepage

---

This program is part of the internationalization features of Samba 2.2 and is obsolete in Samba 3.0, which supports Unicode automatically. The make_smbcodepage program compiles a binary codepage file from a text-format codepage definition. It can also perform the reverse operation, decompiling a binary codepage file into a text version. Examples of text-format codepage files can be found in the Samba distribution in the source/codepages directory. After Samba has been installed, examples of binary codepages can be found in the directory /usr/local/samba/lib/codepages .

Command synopsis

 make_smbcodepage   cd codepage_number input_file output_file   

For the first argument, use c to compile a codepage and d to decompile a codepage file. The codepage_number argument is the number of the codepage being processed (e.g., 850). The input_file and output_file are the text- and binary-format codepages, with the types dependent on the operation (compiling or decompiling) that is being performed.
