eolfix is a command line utility to report, and optionally convert, the line endings of text files between MS-DOS, Unix and Macintosh formats. It detects and ignores binary files unless instructed to include them. It does not modify files if the file is already in the requested format. It properly handles "mixed" format files (files having more than one type of line ending format).

Usage: eolfix [options] [files...]
Options:
-u | --unix    [files] Convert text files to have UNIX line endings
-d | --dos     [files] Convert text files to have DOS/Windows line endings
-m | --mac     [files] Convert text files to have Macintosh line endings
-n | --native  [files] Convert text files to have native line endings
-l | --leave   [files] Report on the type of file, but do not convert (default)
-s | --skip    [files] Skip these files entirely
-i | --include type    Include types: unix, dos, mac, varied, binary and all
                       Default is to include unix, dos, mac and varied files
-e | --exclude type    Exclude types: unix, dos, mac, varied, binary and all
-a | --abort           Abort processing on the first error encountered
-b | --backup          Backup each file before converting it
-k | --backup-ext .ext Use <.ext> for backup file extension (default is .bak)
-c | --compress        Compress doubled-spaced files to be single-spaced (todo)
-g | --config file     Process options in <file>
-y | --dry-run         Skip conversion, but show what would have been converted
-f | --force           Convert every file, even if no change would result
-z | --ignore-case     Perform case-insensitive filename matching
-j | --in-place        Convert text files in-place (slower)
-o | --output file     Send output to <file> (use - for stdout)
-p | --preserve        Preserve file ownership and times
-r | --recursive       Recurse into directories
-t | --temp-dir dir    Use <dir> for temporary files (default is file's dir)
-v | --verbose         Report on every file, even if it would not be changed
-q | --quiet           Only report errors
-? | --help            Show this help message and quit
     --version         Display version information and quit
     --license         Display licensing information
     --                Stop processing options
