The AFP protocol mostly refers to files and directories by ID and not by name\&. Netatalk needs a way to store these ID\'s in a persistent way, to achieve this several different CNID backends are available\&. The CNID Databases are by default located in the

With OS X Apple introduced the AFP3 protocol\&. One of the most important changes was that AFP3 uses unicode names encoded as UTF\-8 decomposed\&. Previous AFP/OS versions used codepages, like MacRoman, MacCentralEurope, etc\&.
