NAME [Toc] [Back]
dos2ux, ux2dos - convert ASCII file format
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
dos2ux file...
ux2dos file...
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
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 [Toc] [Back]
Print file myfile on the display:
dos2ux myfile
Convert file1 and file2 to DOS format then concatenate them together,
placing them in file3.
ux2dos file1 file2 > file3
RETURN VALUE [Toc] [Back]
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 [Toc] [Back]
Command formats resembling:
dos2ux file1 file2 > file1
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.
