dos2unix − DOS/MAC to UNIX text file format converter |
dos2unix [options] [−c convmode] [−o file ...] [−n infile outfile ...] Options: [−hkqV] [−−help] [−−keepdate] [−−quiet] [−−version] |
This manual page documents dos2unix, the program that converts plain text files in DOS/MAC format to UNIX format. |
The following options are available: |
−h −−help |
Print online help. |
−k −−keepdate |
Keep the date stamp of output file same as input file. |
−q −−quiet |
Quiet mode. Suppress all warning and messages. |
−V −−version |
Prints version information. |
−c −−convmode convmode |
Sets conversion mode. Where convmode is one of: ASCII, 7bit, ISO, Mac with ASCII being the default. Simulates dos2unix under SunOS. |
−o −−oldfile file ... |
Old file mode. Convert the file and write output to it. The program default to run in this mode. Wildcard names may be used. |
−n −−newfile infile outfile ... |
New file mode. Convert the infile and write output to outfile. File names must be given in pairs and wildcard names should NOT be used or you WILL lose your files. |
Get input from stdin and write output to stdout. |

dos2unix −k a.txt dos2unix −k −o a.txt |
Convert a.txt and write to e.txt. |
dos2unix −n a.txt e.txt |
Convert a.txt and write to e.txt, keep date stamp of e.txt same as a.txt. |
dos2unix −k −n a.txt e.txt |
Convert and replace a.txt. Convert b.txt and write to e.txt. |
dos2unix a.txt −n b.txt e.txt dos2unix −o a.txt −n b.txt e.txt |

dos2unix −n c.txt e.txt −o a.txt b.txt −n d.txt f.txt |
The program does not work properly under MSDOS in stdio processing mode. If you know why is that so, please tell me. |
