u2d Command
Syntax
-
u2d [-bBuUlLfFzZ] [[<]input_file] [[>]output_file]
Description
Lines in DOS text files are terminated by a carriage-return/line-feed pair, while lines in UNIX text files are terminated by a single line feed. The u2d command lets you convert text files from UNIX format to DOS format.
The input_file and output_file arguments optionally can have a redirection symbol (>, <, |) in front of them. The u2d command reads from standard input and writes to standard output if there are no file arguments. input_file is the target file for conversion and output_file is the name of the converted file.
Options
-b/-B
|
Binary—Preserves 8-bit character codes in the output file. If it is not specified, all 8-bit codes are converted to 7-bit codes.
|
-u/-U
|
Uppercase—Converts alphabetic characters in the input file to upper case in the output file.
|
-l/-L
|
Lowercase—Converts alphabetic characters in the input file to lower case in the output file.
|
-f/-F
|
Fudge—Causes u2d to leave any carriage-return characters in the input file alone. Ordinarily, carriage-return characters are removed in the conversion and line-feed characters are changed into CR/LF pairs. This option preserves carriage-return characters in the output file.
|
-z/-Z
|
Write EOF—Adds a DOS end-of-file marker to the end of the output file unless there is already one there.
