unix2mac: Change the line endings of a file.
$ unix2mac ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "unix2mac ${filename}" is used in the Unix/Linux command line to convert a text file from Unix-style line endings to Mac-style line endings.

The ${filename} is a placeholder for the actual name of the file you want to convert. You need to replace it with the actual filename or path to the file you want to convert.

The "unix2mac" command is a Unix utility that is specifically designed to convert line endings from Unix-style (represented by a single newline character - '\n') to Mac-style (represented by a carriage return followed by a newline - '\r\n').

So when you run the "unix2mac" command with the specified file name or path, it will process the file and convert all Unix-style line endings to Mac-style line endings.
