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
