- D2X(LOCAL)
-
- Name
- d2x - change file format from MS-DOS to UNIX
-
- Syntax
- d2x [infile [outfile]]
- d2x infile1 ... infileN outdir
-
- Description
- d2x converts text files from MS-DOS to Unix. DOS stores
- text files with line terminators consisting of CR/LF, and
- sometimes appends a control-Z character to the end of the
- file. Unix terminates lines with LF only, meaning Unix text
- files require slightly less space. The d2x command strips
- surplus CR and control-Z characters. Do not use this util-
- ity on binary object files.
-
- If no filename is specified on the command line, d2x takes
- input from standard input and sends its output to standard
- output. If a directory is specified as the destination, one
- or more input files are copied into it.
-
- This program was written due to deficiencies in the SCO Unix
- version, and due to the need for portable Unix/DOS file
- transfer utilities throughout the development environment.
