If you look at the man page of unix2dos you find these examples: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Get input from stdin and write output to stdout. |
| 10 |
unix2dos |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Convert and replace a.txt. Convert and replace b.txt. |
| 13 |
unix2dos a.txt b.txt |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This means that unix2dos will only print results to stdout if no arguments are |
| 16 |
given and the input will then be taken from stdin. So when you give a file as |
| 17 |
an argument the output of unix2dos will be printed to that file. What you |
| 18 |
have to type to print the results to lpr is hence: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
# cat env-lp-test | unix2dos | lpr -l |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
