dos2unix

dos2unix(1)							   User Commands						       dos2unix(1)

NAME

       dos2unix - convert text file from DOS format to ISO format

SYNOPSIS

       dos2unix [-ascii] [-iso] [-7] [-437 | -850 | -860 | -863 | -865]  originalfile convertedfile

DESCRIPTION

       The dos2unix utility converts characters in the DOS extended character set to the corresponding ISO standard characters.

       This  command  can  be invoked from either DOS or SunOS. However, the filenames must conform to the conventions of the environment in which
       the command is invoked.

       If the original file and the converted file are the same,  dos2unix will rewrite the original file after converting it.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -ascii	       Removes extra carriage returns and converts end of file characters in DOS format text files to conform  to  SunOS  require-
		       ments.

       -iso	       This  is  the  default. It converts characters in the DOS extended character set to the corresponding  ISO standard charac-
		       ters.

       -7	       Converts 8 bit DOS graphics characters to 7 bit space characters so that SunOS can read the file.

       On non-i386 systems, dos2unix will attempt to obtain the keyboard type to determine which code page to use. Otherwise, the default  is  US.
       The user may override the code page with one of the following options:

       -437	       Use US code page

       -850	       Use multilingual code page

       -860	       Use Portuguese code page

       -863	       Use French Canadian code page

       -865	       Use Danish code page

OPERANDS

       The following operands are required:

       originalfile    The original file in DOS format that is being converted to ISO format.

       convertedfile   The new file in ISO format that has been converted from the original DOS file format.

DIAGNOSTICS

       File filename not found, or no read permission

	   The input file you specified does not exist, or you do not have read permission. Check with the SunOS command, ls -l (see ls(1)).

       Bad output filename filename, or no write permission

	   The	output	file you specified is either invalid, or you do not have write permission for that file or the directory that contains it.
	   Check also that the drive or diskette  is not write-protected.

       Error while writing to temporary file

	   An error occurred while converting your file, possibly because  there is not enough space on the current drive.  Check  the	amount	of
	   space  on  the current drive using the DIR command. Also be certain that the default diskette or drive is write-enabled (not write-pro-
	   tected). Notice that when this error occurs, the original file remains intact.

       Translated temporary file name = filename.
       Could not rename temporary file to filename.

	   The program could not perform the final step in converting your file.  Your converted file is stored under the name	indicated  on  the
	   second line of this message.
