unix2dos

Change the line endings of a file to DOS-style

$ unix2dos [path/to/file]

$ unix2dos -n [path/to/file] [path/to/new_file]

$ unix2dos -i [path/to/file]

$ unix2dos --keep-bom|--add-bom|--remove-bom [path/to/file]

unix2dos [options] [file...]

unix2dos converts text files from Unix line ending format (LF) to DOS/Windows format (CRLF). It modifies files in place by default or can write to new files with the -n option.
The tool is commonly used when preparing files for Windows systems or when working with cross-platform projects that require consistent line endings.

-n, --newfile _infile_ _outfile_

Write to new file instead of modifying in place

Display file information (line endings, BOM)

Keep output file date same as input

Keep Byte Order Mark

Add Byte Order Mark

Remove Byte Order Mark

Quiet mode, suppress warnings

Binary files should not be processed. Large files are processed efficiently. The tool can handle UTF-8 and other encodings. Part of the dos2unix package.
