eol [options] path...

eol is a command-line script (and Python module) for inspecting and converting end-of-line characters in text files. With no action flag it reports each file's detected EOL style (Unix/LF, Windows/CRLF, Mac Classic/CR, mixed, or none).Use `-c` to rewrite files to a chosen style, or `-f` to locate files that already use a particular style. Directory traversal is off unless `-r` is given. Binary files are detected and skipped by default.

-c, --convert NAME

Convert files to the given EOL style. NAME is one of LF, CRLF, CR, NATIVE (aliases: unix, dos/windows, mac, native — case-insensitive).

List files that have the given EOL style. Accepts the same names as `-c` plus NONE and MIXED.

Recurse into directories (off by default).

Skip files or directories matching PATTERN (e.g. `.git`, `*.pyc`).

Show debug-level output.

Only show warnings and errors.

Run the tool's self-tests and exit.

Show help.

Conversion rewrites files in place; keep a backup or use version control. Files with mixed line endings are normalized to the target style on `-c`. This is the trentm/eol Python tool; other distributions ship unrelated programs also named eol.

eol was written by Trent Mick and is distributed on PyPI as the `eol` package. The project has been maintained on GitHub since the late 2000s.
