      -V --version
             Prints version information.
 
      -c --convmode convmode
             Sets conversion mode. Simulates dos2unix under SunOS.
 
      -o --oldfile file ...
             Old file mode. Convert the file and write output to it. The program default to run in this mode.  Wildcard

             dos2unix a.txt -c iso b.txt
 
             dos2unix -c ascii a.txt -c iso b.txt
 
             dos2unix -c mac a.txt b.txt
 
      Convert and replace a.txt while keeping original date stamp.
 
             dos2unix -k a.txt
 
             dos2unix -k -o a.txt

      Convert a.txt and write to e.txt, keep date stamp of e.txt same as a.txt.
 
             dos2unix -k -n a.txt e.txt
 
      Convert and replace a.txt. Convert b.txt and write to e.txt.
 
             dos2unix a.txt -n b.txt e.txt
 
             dos2unix -o a.txt -n b.txt e.txt
 
      Convert  c.txt and write to e.txt. Convert and replace a.txt.  Convert and replace b.txt. Convert d.txt and write
