unix2mac: Create a copy with macOS-style line endings.
$ unix2mac -n ${path-to-unix_file} ${path-to-mac_file}
try on your machine

The command you provided is invoking the "unix2mac" utility with the "-n" option and two path arguments. Here's a breakdown:

  • "unix2mac": This is the name of the utility or command you are running. It is used to convert Unix-style text files to Mac-style text files.

  • "-n": This option is used to specify that the input file should not be modified directly. Instead, the output should be redirected to a different location or file.

  • "${path-to-unix_file}": This is the first path argument. It should be replaced with the actual path to the Unix-style text file that you want to convert.

  • "${path-to-mac_file}": This is the second path argument. It should be replaced with the actual path where you want the converted Mac-style text file to be placed.

To summarize, the command is converting a Unix-style text file to a Mac-style text file, and saving the output to the specified location.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
