Use this option if you want to convert files whose names start with a dash. Treat all following options as file names. Another difference is that the SunOS/Solaris version uses by default iso mode conversion while this version uses by default ascii mode conversion. This version does by default in-place conversion (old file mode), while the original SunOS/Solaris version only supports paired conversion (new file mode). There is one important difference with the original SunOS/Solaris version. Writing to a symbolic link target is not supported on Windows.ĭos2unix was modelled after dos2unix under SunOS/Solaris.
Symbolic links can optionally be replaced, or the output can be written to the symbolic link target. Symbolic links and their targets are by default kept untouched. Non-regular files, such as directories and FIFOs, are automatically skipped.
And Windows Unicode (UTF-16) files can be converted to Unix Unicode (UTF-8) files.īinary files are automatically skipped, unless conversion is forced. A few DOS code pages can be converted to Unix Latin-1. Nowadays Mac OS uses Unix style (LF) line breaks.īesides line breaks Dos2unix can also convert the encoding of files. In Mac text files, prior to Mac OS X, a line break was single Carriage Return (CR) character. In Unix text files a line break is a single character: the Line Feed (LF). In DOS/Windows text files a line break, also known as newline, is a combination of two characters: a Carriage Return (CR) followed by a Line Feed (LF). The Dos2unix package includes utilities dos2unix and unix2dos to convert plain text files in DOS or Mac format to Unix format and vice versa.
