you will get a "\n\r" (newline, carriage return).
Not that how DOS delimits its records (or lines) is sacrosanct...

but the DOS delimiter is "\r\n" or "\o015\o012" or CRLF

Cheers!

mattrib

mattrib(1)						      General Commands Manual							mattrib(1)

NAME

       mattrib - mtools utility to change DOS file attribute options

SYNOPSIS

       mattrib [-a  | +a] [-h  | +h] [-r  | +r] [-s  | +s] msdosfile [msdosfiles...]

       The mattrib command sets (+) or clears (-) the attribute options of a DOS file.

OPTIONS

       Sets  or  resets the archive bit.  Some backup programs use this option to indicate a new file.	Sets or resets the hidden-bit. This option
       hides files from the DOS DIR command.  To view these files, use the mdir command.  Sets or resets the read-only bit.  This option  is  used
       to  indicate  a	read-only file.  If this bit is set, a file cannot be removed using the DOS DEL command.  To remove the file, use the mdel
       command.  Sets or resets the system bit.  This option is used by DOS to indicate an operating system file.

DESCRIPTION

       The mattrib command sets the attribute options of a DOS file using the plus (+) operator, or clears attribute options using the	minus  (-)
       operator.   DOS pathnames 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:.

RESTRICTIONS

       The DOS version of the attrib command does not support all of the options listed on this reference page.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned: Success.  Failure.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the execution of mattrib: 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
