NAME

unix2dos — convert ASCII files from UNIX's LF to DOS's CR/LF

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

When called without parameters, the unix2dos utility reads from the standard input, transforming LF characters into CR/LF pairs and writing them to the standard output. If there's at least one filename specified, the file operands are processed in command line order, reading from the files specified and overwriting them with the converted version.

If the [-p] option is given, both the access and modification time of the original file are preserved.

It's important to note that the unix2dos utility is the same program as the dos2unix(1) utility. It simply checks its name to see what operation is expected. If you change the name of the binary, unix2dos will default to converting files from UNIX to DOS.

RETURN VALUES

The unix2dos utility exits 0 on success, and 1 if there was an error processing any of the files. Note however that execution of the program does not stop if one of the files has a problem. The offending file is simply skipped and processing of the remaining files continues.
