dos2ux(1)

DESCRIPTION

dos2ux and ux2dos read each specified file in sequence and write it to standard output, converting to HP-UX format or to DOS format, respectively. Each file can be either DOS format or HP-UX format for either command.

A DOS file name is recognized by the presence of an embedded colon (:) delimiter; see dosif(4) for DOS file naming conventions.

If no input file is given or if the argument - is encountered, dos2ux and ux2dos read from standard input. Standard input can be combined with other files.

EXAMPLES

Print file myfile on the display:

Convert file1 and file2 to DOS format then concatenate them together, placing them in file3.

RETURN VALUE

dos2ux and ux2dos return 0 if successful or 2 if the command failed. The only possible failure is the inability to open a specified file, in which case the commands print a warning.

WARNINGS

Command formats resembling:

overwrite the data in file1 before the concatenation begins, causing a loss of the contents of file1. Therefore, be careful when using shell special characters.
