NAME

6       dos2unix - convert text file from DOS format to ISO format
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dos2unix [-ascii] [-iso] [-7]
10            [-437 | -850 | -860 | -863 | -865] originalfile convertedfile

DESCRIPTION

14       The  dos2unix utility converts characters in the DOS extended character
15       set to the corresponding ISO standard characters.
16
17
18       This command can be invoked from either  DOS  or  SunOS.  However,  the
19       filenames  must  conform to the conventions of the environment in which
20       the command is invoked.
21
22
23       If the original file and the converted file  are  the  same,   dos2unix
24       will rewrite the original file after converting it.
25

OPTIONS

27       The following options are supported:
28
29       -ascii    Removes extra carriage returns and converts end of file char‐
30                 acters in DOS format text files to conform to SunOS  require‐
31                 ments.
32
33
34       -iso      This  is  the  default.  It  converts  characters  in the DOS
35                 extended character set to  the  corresponding   ISO  standard
36                 characters.
37
38
39       -7        Converts 8 bit DOS graphics characters to 7 bit space charac‐
40                 ters so that SunOS can read the file.
41
42
43
44       On non-i386 systems, dos2unix will attempt to obtain the keyboard  type
45       to  determine which code page to use. Otherwise, the default is US. The
46       user may override the code page with one of the following options:
47
48       -437    Use US code page
49
50
51       -850    Use multilingual code page
52
53
54       -860    Use Portuguese code page
55
56
57       -863    Use French Canadian code page
58
59
60       -865    Use Danish code page

OPERANDS

64       The following operands are required:
65
66       originalfile      The original file in DOS format that  is  being  con‐

68
69
70       convertedfile     The  new  file  in ISO format that has been converted

DIAGNOSTICS

90       File filename not found, or no read permission
91
92           The input file you specified does not exist, or  you  do  not  have
93           read permission. Check with the SunOS command, ls -l (see ls(1)).
94
95
96       Bad output filename filename, or no write permission
97
98           The output file you specified is either invalid, or you do not have
99           write permission for that file or the directory that  contains  it.
100           Check also that the drive or diskette  is not write-protected.
101
102
103       Error while writing to temporary file
104
105           An  error  occurred  while  converting  your file, possibly because
106           there is not enough space on the current drive. Check the amount of
107           space  on  the current drive using the DIR command. Also be certain
108           that the default diskette or drive is write-enabled (not write-pro‐
109           tected).  Notice  that  when  this  error occurs, the original file
110           remains intact.
111
112
113       Translated temporary file name = filename.
114       Could not rename temporary file to filename.
115
116           The program could not perform the final  step  in  converting  your
117           file. Your converted file is stored under the name indicated on the
118           second line of this message.
