# refdb\_dos2unix(1)

RefDB tool: convert file formats from DOS to Unix

## NAME

refdb\_dos2unix - RefDB tool: convert file formats from DOS to Unix

## SYNOPSIS

**refdb\_dos2unix** \[-h\] *file1* \[*file2*...\]

## DESCRIPTION

RefDB is a free and portable reference and notes database as well as a bibliography application that serves a similar purpose for SGML, XML, and LaTeX documents as *Reference Manager* or *EndNote* do for word processor documents. The bibliography part is something like bibtex for markup languages. RefDB consists of an application server which interacts with a relational database on the server side and a variety of clients (including refdba and refdbc) on the workstation side. These clients perform the common tasks of a reference database, like adding and searching entries, as well as generating bibliographies.

refdb\_dos2unix is a helper utility that converts a file from DOS format (newline = \\r\\n) to Unix format (newline = \\n).
