NAME
       dos2unix - convert text file from DOS format to ISO format

SYNOPSIS
       dos2unix [-ascii] [-iso] [-7] [-437 | -850 | -860 | -863 | -865]	 orig‐
       inalfile convertedfile

DESCRIPTION
       The dos2unix utility 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.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -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 stan‐
		       dard characters.

       -7	       Converts 8 bit DOS graphics characters to 7  bit	 space
		       characters so that SunOS can read the file.

       On  non-i386 systems, dos2unix will attempt to obtain the keyboard type
       to determine which code page to use. Otherwise, the default is US.  The
       user may override the code page with one of the following options:

       -437	       Use US code page

       -850	       Use multilingual code page

       -860	       Use Portuguese code page

       -863	       Use French Canadian code page

       -865	       Use Danish code page

OPERANDS
       The following operands are required:

       originalfile    The original file in DOS format that is being converted
		       to ISO format.

       convertedfile   The new file in ISO format that has been converted from
		       the original DOS file format.

DIAGNOSTICS
       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 command, ls -l (see ls(1)).

       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-pro‐
	   tected). Notice that when this  error  occurs,  the	original  file
	   remains intact.

       Translated temporary file name = filename.
       Could not rename temporary file to 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.
