NAME

tounix − convert file to unix format

SYNOPSIS

tounix [ −c ] [ filename ... ]

DESCRIPTION

tounix reads file in sequence, converts it to a unix format, by replacing any carriage returns with line feeds, and displays the results on the standard output.  file is assumed to be a regular text file.  Thus

% tounix goodies

converts goodies to a unix format and displays the results on the standard output, and

% tounix file1 file2 >file3

concatenates the first two files, converts them to a unix format, and places the result on the third. 

If no filename argument is given, or if the argument ‘−’ is given, tounix reads from the standard input.  If the standard input is a terminal, input is terminated by an EOF signal, usually ^D. 

OPTIONS

−cChange input files.  If −c is used, the output is not directed to standard output.  Instead, the input files are converted in place. 

SEE ALSO

tomac(1), topc(1)

BUGS

tounix only works on regular text files.
