NAME
dos2ux, ux2dos - convert ASCII ®le format
SYNOPSIS
dos2ux ®le...
ux2dos ®le...
DESCRIPTION
dos2ux and ux2dos read each speci®ed ®le in sequence and write it to standard output, converting to
A DOS ®le name is recognized by the presence of an embedded colon (:) delimiter; see dosif(4) for DOS ®le naming conventions.
If no input ®le is given or if the argument - is encountered, dos2ux and ux2dos read from standard input. Standard input can be combined with other ®les.
EXAMPLES
Print ®le 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
dos2ux and ux2dos return 0 if successful or 2 if the command failed. The only possible failure is the inability to open a speci®ed ®le, in which case the commands print a warning.
WARNINGS
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.
