NAME

dos2ux, ux2dos - convert ASCII ﬁle format between HP-UX and DOS formats

SYNOPSIS

dos2ux ﬁle...

ux2dos ﬁle...

DESCRIPTION

dos2ux and ux2dos read each speciﬁed ﬁle in sequence and write it to standard output, converting to

HP-UX format or to DOS format, respectively. Each ﬁle can be in either DOS format or HP-UX format

for either command.

A DOS ﬁle name is recognized by the presence of an embedded colon (

:) delimiter; see dosif (4) for DOS

ﬁle naming conventions.

If no input ﬁle is given or if a ﬁle is speciﬁed as

-, dos2ux and ux2dos read from standard input. Stan-

dard input can be combined with other ﬁles.

EXAMPLES

Print ﬁle

myfile

on the display:

dos2ux myfile

Convert file1 and file2 to DOS format; then concatenate them together, placing them in file3.

ux2dos file1 file2 > file3

RETURN VALUE

dos2ux and ux2dos return:

0 Successful.

2 Failure. The only possible failure is the inability to open a speciﬁed ﬁle, in which case the

commands print a warning.

WARNINGS

Command formats resembling:

dos2ux file1 file2 > file1

overwrite the data in file1 before the concatenation begins, causing a loss of the contents of

file1.

Therefore, be careful when using shell special characters.
