        <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

        <para>This VFS module is part of the
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
        <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

        <para>The Catia CAD package commonly creates filenames that
        use characters that are illegal in CIFS filenames. The
        <command>vfs_catia</command> VFS module implements a character
        mapping so that these files can be shared with CIFS clients.
        </para>

        <para>This module is stackable.</para>

        <para>The parameter "catia:mappings" specifies the mapping on a
        per-character basis, see below.
        </para>

                <term>catia:mappings = SERVER_HEX_CHAR:CLIENT_HEX_CHAR

                <listitem>
                <para>SERVER_HEX_CHAR specifies a 0x prefixed hexedecimal
                character code that, when included in a Samba server-side
                filename, will be mapped to CLIENT_HEX_CHAR for the CIFS
                client.</para>
                <para>The same mapping occurs in the opposite direction.
                Multiple character mappings are separated by a comma.</para>

        <title>EXAMPLES</title>

        <para>Map server-side quotation-marks (") to client-side diaeresis
        (&#x00a8;) on filenames in the [CAD] share:</para>

<programlisting>
        <smbconfsection name="[CAD]"/>
        <smbconfoption name="path">/data/cad</smbconfoption>
        <smbconfoption name="vfs objects">catia</smbconfoption>
        <smbconfoption name="catia:mappings">0x22:0xa8</smbconfoption>
</programlisting>

        <para>Perform comprehensive mapping of common Catia filename characters:</para>
<programlisting>
        <smbconfsection name="[CAD]"/>
        <smbconfoption name="path">/data/cad</smbconfoption>
        <smbconfoption name="vfs objects">catia</smbconfoption>
        <smbconfoption name="catia:mappings">0x22:0xa8,0x2a:0xa4,0x2f:0xf8,0x3a:0xf7,0x3c:0xab,0x3e:0xbb,0x3f:0xbf,0x5c:0xff,0x7c:0xa6</smbconfoption>
</programlisting>

        <para>Server-side filename to be translated (Note that the path delimiter "/" is not used here):
        </para>
        <para>a\a:a*a?a"a&lt;a&gt;a|a</para>

        <para>Resulting filename, as seen by the client:</para>

        <para>a&#x00ff;a&#x00f7;a&#x00a4;a&#x00bf;a&#x00a8;a&#x00ab;a&#x00bb;a&#x00a6;a
        </para>
</refsect1>

        <title>CAVEATS</title>

        <para>Character mapping must work in BOTH directions (server -&gt;
        client and client -&gt; server) to get unique and existing file names!
        </para>

        <para>A NOT working example:</para>

<programlisting>
        <smbconfsection name="[CAD]"/>
        <smbconfoption name="path">/data/cad</smbconfoption>
        <smbconfoption name="vfs objects">catia</smbconfoption>
        <smbconfoption name="catia:mappings">0x3a:0x5f</smbconfoption>
</programlisting>

        <para>Here the colon ":" is mapped to the underscore "_".</para>
        <para>Assuming a server-side filename "a:should_work", which is
        translated to "a_should_work" for the client.</para>
        <para>BUT the reverse mapping from client "a_should_work" to server
        will result in "a:should:work" - something like "file not found"
        will be returned.
        </para>

        <title>AUTHOR</title>

        <para>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.</para>
        <para>New version written by Guenter Kukkukk kukks@samba.org</para>
