dos2unix - convert text file from DOS format to ISO format
dos2unix
[ -ascii ] [ -iso ] [ -7 ] originalfile convertedfile
SUNWesu
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.
- -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.

- 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.
