unix2mac
TLDR
Change the line endings of a file to macOS-style
$ unix2mac [path/to/file]
Create a copy with macOS-style line endings$ unix2mac -n [path/to/file] [path/to/new_file]
Display file information$ unix2mac -i [path/to/file]
Keep/add/remove Byte Order Mark$ unix2mac --keep-bom|--add-bom|--remove-bom [path/to/file]
SYNOPSIS
unix2mac [options] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
unix2mac converts text files from Unix line ending format (LF) to classic Mac format (CR). This format was used by Mac OS 9 and earlier. Modern macOS uses Unix-style LF line endings.
The tool is primarily useful for compatibility with legacy Mac software or when working with files that specifically require CR line endings.
PARAMETERS
-n, --newfile _infile_ _outfile_
Write to new file instead of modifying in place-i, --info _flags_
Display file information (line endings, BOM)-k, --keepdate
Keep output file date same as input--keep-bom
Keep Byte Order Mark--add-bom
Add Byte Order Mark--remove-bom
Remove Byte Order Mark-q, --quiet
Quiet mode, suppress warnings
CAVEATS
Classic Mac line endings (CR only) are rarely needed today as modern macOS uses LF. Binary files should not be processed. Part of the dos2unix package.
