SYNOPSIS

       dos2unix msdosfile

OPTIONS

       None

OPERANDS

DESCRIPTION

       The dos2unix command converts a file from DOS format to UNIX format.  The converted file replaces the original file.

       Subdirectory  names  that contain the '/' or '' separator are supported.  If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose file
       names in quotes to protect them from the shell.

       The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned: Success.  Failure.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the execution of dos2unix: If set, this variable names the file that contains the  name  of  the
       current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.

FILES

       Contains  the  name  of	the  current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If this file does not exist, the default
       mtools working directory is A:.  Executable file

SEE ALSO

       Commands:  mcopy(1), mread(1), mtools(1) mtype(1), mwrite(1)
