End of Line FOrmatter

The End of Line FOrmatter (elfo), is a little program intended to convert the EOL from DOS to unix and viceversa, is a dos2unix/unix2dos but in a single tool.

Compile and Install

I use autotools for the development process and for package the program, then for compile and install is very easy, follow the old rite:

  1. Unpack the tarball: tar -xzvf elfo-X.X.X.tar.gz
  2. cd elfo-X.X.X
  3. ./configure
  4. make
  5. sudo make install

This install the tool in /usr/local/bin , if you want install in another place use the --prefix option when you configure the package.

You can compile the package in a windows environment with MingW32, any way there are a binary distribution for windows in the site.

Usage

This program support short and long options to fomat the files, here is some usage examples:

To convert a unix file to DOS EOL format type the next line:

elfo -t=dos --file=UnixFile

Another way to done this because the format to convert is DOS by default, it would be:

elfo --file=UnixFile

To convert a DOS file to unix EOL format type the next line:

elfo -t=unix --file=DOSFile
