Did your source code get polluted by scattered ^M's ?

Endlines smartly converts text files from and to the following line ending conventions : Unix/Apple (LF), Windows (CRLF) and legacy Apple (CR).

endlines unix * 

• No need to know about the source files' convention. Multiple conventions can be mixed within a single file.
• Straightforward syntax for multiple files and recursion into directories. Hidden files and directories are skipped by default (you don't want to mess with your .git, do you ?)
• Binary files will be detected and skipped by default, according to a filter based on both file extension and file content.
• Files' last access and last modified time stamps can be preserved.
• UTF-8 files, UTF-16 with BOM as well as all single byte encodings will be treated well. However, UTF-32 is not supported (files will be seen as binary and left untouched).
• Whether converting or checking, a report is given on the original state of line endings that were found.

    $ endlines check -r .
    endlines : dry run, scanning files
     
    endlines : 6431 files checked ; found :
                  - 142 No line ending
                  - 1 Legacy Mac (CR)
                  - 6250 Unix (LF)
                  - 37 Windows (CR-LF)
                  - 1 Mixed endings
               2403 binaries skipped
               480 hidden files skipped

Let the help screen say it all :

  endlines ACTION [OPTIONS] [FILES]

  ACTION can be :
    lf, unix, linux, osx    : convert all endings to LF.
    crlf, windows, win, dos : convert all endings to CR-LF.
    cr, oldmac              : convert all endings to CR.
    check                   : perform a dry run to check current conventions.

  If no files are specified, endlines converts from stdin to stdout.
  Supports UTF-8, UTF-16 with BOM, and all major single byte codesets.

  General   -q / --quiet    : silence all but the error messages.
            -v / --verbose  : print more about what's going on.
            --version       : print version and license.

  Files     -b / --binaries : don't skip binary files.
            -h / --hidden   : process hidden files (/directories) too.
            -k / --keepdate : keep last modified and last access times.
            -r / --recurse  : recurse into directories.

  Examples  endlines check *.txt
            endlines linux -k -r aFolder anotherFolder

Install

Apple OSX users may get the binary from the apple_osx_binary directory and save it to their /usr/local/bin.

Linux and other POSIX users just download the repository and type sudo make install.

Operating systems

Endlines is known to have been compiled and run out of the box on Apple OSX, several Linux distributions and IBM AIX. I provide support for all POSIX compliant operating sytems.

Endlines may compile and run on Windows provided the proper POSIX header files are available. I won't provide any support for it, but pull requests helping with Windows support will be welcome.
