5.4.1 The Samba Mangling Operation Here is how (Web design online)
5.4.1 The Samba Mangling Operation Here is how Samba mangles a long filename into an 8.3 filename: If the original filename does not begin with a dot, up to the first five alphanumeric characters that occur before the last dot (if there is one) are converted to uppercase. These characters are used as the first five characters of the 8.3 mangled filename. If the original filename begins with a dot, the dot is removed and up to the first five alphanumeric characters that occur before the last dot (if there is one) are converted to uppercase. These characters are used as the first five characters of the 8.3 mangled filename. These characters are immediately followed a special mangling character: by default, a tilde (~), although Samba allows you to change this character. The base of the long filename before the last period is hashed into a two-character code; parts of the name after the last dot may be used if necessary. This two character code is appended to the 8.3 filename after the mangling character. The first three characters after the last dot (if there is one) of the original filename are converted to uppercase and appended onto the mangled name as the extension. If the original filename began with a dot, three underscores (___) are used as the extension instead. Here are some examples: virtuosity.dat VIRTU~F1.DAT .htaccess HTACC~U0.___ hello.java HELLO~1F.JAV team.config.txt TEAMC~04.TXT antidisestablishmentarianism.txt ANTID~E3.TXT antidiseast.txt ANTID~9K.TXT
