Software Availability in Native Languages
The CIFS Client is designed to work with a multitude of native languages: most
character-sets used in modern languages in Europe, the middle East, the Americas and Asia
are supported. The character-set displayed on the CIFS Client console is configured with the
parameter clientCharMapFile, which selects any one of the many character mapping files
provided with the product. Character translations for communications with CIFS Servers can
be done either in Unicode or through the configuration parameter serverCharMapFile,
which also is used to select a character mapping file. Use of Unicode is turned on and off with
the useUnicode parameter. More details are provided in the CIFS Client manual as well as in
comments in the configuration file itself (/etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg).
An index, which enumerates the character encoding implemented in each map file, is located
in the file /etc/opt/cifsclient/unitables/README, and is reproduced below. In general, files
that are described as performing “DOS codepage” or “NEXTSTEP” conversions are used for
communications with servers, while files referring to “ISO” or “JIS” are used for converting
characters to the locale configured on the local HP-UX CIFS Client. Note that this discussion
assumes that the locale for which you want to customize the CIFS Client is available as well
for the HP-UX desktop. Here are the descriptions of the character map files:
