NAME
dos2ux, ux2dos — convert ASCII file format
SYNOPSIS
dos2ux
file...
ux2dos
file...
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.
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 specified file,
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.
