.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.B udl
|
||
|
|
converts files between different computer systems by changing the EOL
|
||
|
|
(End-Of-Line) character. It does
|
||
|
|
.I not
|
||
|
|
do a plausability check, so the user has to make sure udl is not invoked
|
||
|
|
on object files or the like.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B udl
|
||
|
|
creates a temporary file the size of the file it is currently working on
|
||
|
|
while it's doing its thing.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
When running under Byteworks' ORCA shell, the Orca shell wildcards
|
||
|
|
.BR =
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.BR ?
|
||
|
|
are properly expanded in file names.
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-u\fP
|
||
|
|
Convert to use LF as EOL (Unix/Amiga).
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-m\fP
|
||
|
|
Convert to use CR/LF as EOL (MS-DOS).
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-g\fP
|
||
|
|
Convert to use CR as EOL (Apple).
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-p\fP
|
||
|
|
Be pedantic, only affects Unix<->Apple conversions, see below.
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-R\fP
|
||
|
|
Recurse through subdirectories.
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-v\fP
|
||
|
|
Be verbose, show the file udl is currently working on.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If you specify the
|
||
|
|
.B -p
|
||
|
|
switch,
|
||
|
|
.B udl
|
||
|
|
is pedantic while doing the conversion. This means: The input file may
|
||
|
|
contain bytes with a value of zero (0), and the input file may contain
|
||
|
|
different EOL characters (i.e., MS-DOS and Unix style might be mixed in
|
||
|
|
one file). For conversions to or from MS-DOS,
|
||
|
|
.B udl
|
||
|
|
is always pedantic, so this only affects conversions from Unix to Apple
|
||
|
|
or vice versa. Being pedantic slows udl down by a factor of 1.5.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.B udl
|
||
|
|
is given a file that seems to be a binary file \(that is, no EOL is
|
||
|
|
found in the first part of the file\), the file will be skipped. No
|
||
|
|
notice is given of this unless the
|
||
|
|
.B -v
|
||
|
|
flag is used.
|
||
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
When compiling on some Solaris installations, files within subdirectories
|
||
|
|
do not get their names properly resolved.
|
||
|
|
This seems to be due to bad definitions in
|
||
|
|
.IR <sys/stat.h> .
|
||
|
|
If you have access to SunOS 4.x,
|
||
|
|
.BR udl
|
||
|
|
can be compiled there and used under Solaris.
