. About dos2unix and unix2dos The dos2unix package includes the utilities dos2unix and unix2dos to files in or format to, and vice versa. Description In DOS/ text files, a, also known as, is a combination of two characters: a followed by a. In Unix text files a line break is a single character: the Line Feed (LF).

In Mac text files, prior to, a line break was single Carriage Return (CR) character. Nowadays macOS uses Unix style (LF) line breaks. Files are automatically skipped, unless conversion is forced. Non-regular files, such as and, are automatically skipped. And their targets are by default kept untouched.

Symbolic links can optionally be replaced, or the output can be written to the symbolic link target. Symbolic links on Windows are not supported. Windows symbolic links are always replaced, keeping the targets unchanged.

Dos2unix was modelled after dos2unix under and has similar conversion modes. Unix2dos and dos2unix syntax dos2unix options FILE.n INFILE OUTFILE. unix2dos options FILE.n INFILE OUTFILE. Options - Treat all options that follow as. Use this option, for instance, if you want to convert files whose names start with a dash. So, to convert a file named ' -foo', you can use this command: dos2unix - -foo Or in new file mode: dos2unix -n - -foo out.txt -ascii Convert only line breaks. This is the default conversion mode.iso Conversion between DOS and -8859-1 character set.

This is the default code page used for ISO conversion.850 Use DOS code page 850 (Western European) -860 Use DOS code page 860 (Portuguese).863 Use DOS code page 863 (French Canadian).865 Use DOS code page 865 (Nordic).7 Convert 8 bit characters to 7 bit space.c, -convmode CONVMODE Set conversion mode.

Where CONVMODE is one of: ascii, 7bit, iso, or mac, with ascii being the default.f, -force Force conversion of binary files.h, -help Display help and exit.k, -keepdate Keep the of output file same as input file.L, -license Display program's.l, -newline Add additional newline. Dos2unix: Only DOS line breaks are changed to two Unix line breaks. In Mac mode only Mac line breaks are changed to two Unix line breaks. Unix2dos: Only Unix line breaks are changed to two DOS line breaks. In Mac mode Unix line breaks are changed to two Mac line breaks.m, -add-bom Write an -8 Byte Order Mark in the output file. Never use this option when the output encoding is other than UTF-8.

See also section UNICODE.n, -newfile INFILE OUTFILE. New file mode. Convert file INFILE and write output to file OUTFILE.

File names must be given in pairs and wildcard names should not be used or you will lose your files. The person who starts the conversion in new file (paired) mode will be the owner of the converted file. The read/write permissions of the new file will be the permissions of the original file minus the of the person who runs the conversion.o, -oldfile FILE. Old file mode.

Convert file FILE and overwrite output to it. The program defaults to run in this mode. Names may be used. In old file (in-place) mode the converted file gets the same, and as the original file.

Also, when the file is converted by another user who has write permissions on the file (e.g., user ). The conversion will be aborted when it is not possible to preserve the original values. Change of owner could mean that the original owner is not able to read the file any more. Change of group could be a security risk, the file could be made readable for persons for whom it is not intended. Preservation of owner, group, and read/write permissions is only supported on Unix.q, -quiet Quiet mode. Suppress all warnings and messages. The value is zero.

Except when wrong options are used.s, -safe Skip binary files (default).F, -follow-symlink Follow symbolic links and convert the targets.R, -replace-symlink Replace symbolic links with converted files (original target files remain unchanged).S, -skip-symlink Keep symbolic links and targets unchanged (default).V, -version Display version information and exit. Mac Mode In normal mode line breaks are converted from DOS to Unix and vice versa. Mac line breaks are not converted. In Mac mode line breaks are converted from Mac to Unix and vice versa. DOS line breaks are not changed. To run in Mac mode use the command-line option ' -c mac' or use the commands ' mac2unix' or ' unix2mac'. Conversion Modes ascii In mode 'ascii' only line breaks are converted.

This is the default conversion mode. Although the name of this mode is, which is a 7 standard, the actual mode is. Use always this mode when converting Unicode UTF-8 files. 7bit In this mode all 8 bit non-ASCII characters (with values from 128 to 255) are converted to a 7 bit space.

Iso Characters are converted between a DOS character set (code page) and ISO character set ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) on Unix. DOS characters without ISO-8859-1 equivalent, for which conversion is not possible, are converted to a dot. The same counts for ISO-8859-1 characters without DOS counterpart. When only option '-iso' is used dos2unix will try to determine the active code page. When this is not possible dos2unix will use default code page CP437, which is mainly used in the USA. To force a specific code page use options '-437' (US), '-850' (Western European), '-860' (Portuguese), '-863' (French Canadian), or '-865' (Nordic). Windows code page CP1252 (Western European) is also supported with option '-1252'.

For other code pages use dos2unix in combination with iconv. Iconv can convert between a long list of character encodings. Never use ISO converion on Unicode text files. It will corrupt UTF-8 encoded files.
