In this mode all 8 bit non-ASCII characters (with values from 128 to 255) are converted to a 7 bit space.Ĭharacters are converted between a DOS character set (code page) and ISO character set ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) on Unix. Use always this mode when converting Unicode UTF-8 files.

This is the default conversion mode.Īlthough the name of this mode is ASCII, which is a 7 bit standard, the actual mode is 8 bit. In mode "ascii" only line breaks are converted.

To run in Mac mode, use the command-line option " -c mac" or use the commands " mac2unix" or " unix2mac". In Mac mode, line breaks are converted from Mac to Unix and vice versa. In normal mode line breaks are converted from DOS to Unix and vice versa. Keep symbolic links and targets unchanged (default). Replace symbolic links with converted files (original target files remain unchanged). Except when wrong command-line options are used.įollow symbolic links and convert the targets. Preservation of owner, group, and read/write permissions is only supported on Unix. Change of group could be a security risk, the file could be made readable for persons for whom it is not intended. Change of owner could mean that the original owner is not able to read the file any more. The conversion will be aborted when it is not possible to preserve the original values. Also, when the file is converted by another user who has write permissions on the file (e.g., user root). In old file (in-place) mode the converted file gets the same owner, group, and read/write permissions as the original file. The program defaults to run in this mode. Convert file FILE and overwrite output to it. The read/write permissions of the new file will be the permissions of the original file minus the umask of the person who runs the conversion.

The person who starts the conversion in new file (paired) mode will be the owner of the converted file. File names must be given in pairs and wildcard names should not be used or you will lose your files. Convert file INFILE and write output to file OUTFILE. Never use this option when the output encoding is other than UTF-8. Write an UTF-8 Byte Order Mark in the output file. In Mac mode, Unix line breaks are changed to two Mac line breaks. Unix2dos: Only Unix line breaks are changed to two DOS line breaks. In Mac mode, only Mac line breaks are changed to two Unix line breaks. Keep the date stamp of output file same as input file.ĭos2unix: Only DOS line breaks are changed to two Unix line breaks. Where CONVMODE is one of: ascii, 7bit, iso, or mac, with ascii being the default.

This is the default code page used for ISO conversion.

Use Windows code page 1252 (Western European). This is the default conversion mode.Ĭonversion between DOS and ISO-8859-1 character set. So, to convert a file named " -foo", you can use this command:Ĭonvert only line breaks. Use this option, for instance, if you want to convert files whose names start with a dash. Treat all options that follow as file names. Windows symbolic links are always replaced, keeping the targets unchanged.ĭos2unix was modelled after dos2unix under SunOS/Solaris and has similar conversion modes. Symbolic links on Windows are not supported. Symbolic links can optionally be replaced, or the output can be written to the symbolic link target. Symbolic links and their targets are by default kept untouched. Non-regular files, such as directories and FIFOs, are automatically skipped. Nowadays, macOS uses Unix style (LF) line breaks.īinary files are automatically skipped, unless conversion is forced. In Mac text files, before macOS X, a line break was single carriage return (CR) character. In Unix text files a line break is a single character: the line feed (LF). In DOS/ Windows text files, a line break, also known as newline, is a combination of two characters: a carriage return (CR) followed by a line feed (LF).
