VFS_CAP(8)                                                                                        VFS_CAP(8)



NAME
       vfs_cap - CAP encode filenames

SYNOPSIS
       vfs objects = cap

DESCRIPTION
       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       CAP  (Columbia  Appletalk  Protocol)  encoding is a technique for representing non-ASCII filenames in
       ASCII. The vfs_cap VFS module translates filenames to and from CAP format,  allowing  users  to  name
       files in their native encoding.

       CAP encoding is most commonly used in Japanese language environments.

       This module is stackable.

EXAMPLES
       On a system using GNU libiconv, use CAP encoding to support users in the Shift_JIS locale:


               [global]
            dos charset = CP932
            dos charset = CP932
            vfs objects = cap
