dos2unix - convert text file from DOS format to ISO format
SYNOPSIS
dos2unix
[
-ascii
]
[
-iso
]
[
-7
]
originalfile
convertedfile
DESCRIPTION
dos2unix
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
- -ascii
-
Removes extra carriage returns and converts end of file characters in
DOS
format text files to conform to SunOS requirements.
- -iso
-
This is the default. It converts characters in the
DOS
extended character set to the corresponding
ISO
standard characters.
- -7
-
Convert 8 bit
DOS
graphics characters to 7 bit space characters so that
SunOS can read the file.
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
ls -l
command).
- 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-protected).
Note that when this error occurs, the original file remains intact.
- Could not rename temporary file to filename.
-
- Translated temporary file name = 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.
