d2u -- convert DOS text files to UNIX text files

Synopsis

d2u source_filename target_filename

Description

The d2u utility is used to convert DOS text files to UNIX text file format. source_filename specifies the DOS file (optionally including pathname). target_filename specifies the name (and optionally, path) of the UNIX file to be created. The two arguments must be different.

To specify the end of a line, DOS uses the two characters carriage return (CR) and linefeed (LF): UNIX uses one character, the newline (NL). d2u converts CR/LF pairs into NLs.

Usage

Note that root permissions are not needed in order to use this utility.
