eol-tools v2.0.1

EOL Tools

A set of tools for working with EOL markings in files.

Installation

Install using npm:

npm install -g eol-tools

Usage

At any time, you can run eol-tools --help to get help from the command line.

Analyzing the line endings of files

You can use eol-tools to analyze the EOL markings of files and report back what they are, including mixed EOL usage and indeterminante usage:

eol-tools [a|analayze] [directory...]

Each argument after a or analyze is treated as a separate directory, so you can do things like this:

eol-tools a ./src ./dist

It will print out the results and indicate one of five possible states:

• None: there were no line endings detected at all, so the EOL type could not be determined. This typically happens on empty files
• UNIX: all EOL markings are \n
• Windows: all EOL markings are \r\n
• Apple: all EOL markings are \r (where did you find this relic?)
• Mixed: there is a cominbination of different markings used in the file

Converting the line endings of files

WARNING: this command is not well tested. Since it's a destructive operation, be careful with it.

You can normalize the line endings by running the following:

eol-tools [c|convert] [-e windows|unix] [<directory>...]

You can specify if you want UNIX-style line endings (\n, the default) or Windows-style line endings (\r\n) by using the -e flag. For example, to convert all files to UNIX-style line endings, you would run:

eol-tools c ./src ./dist

or convert them to Windows-style line endings with:

eol-tools c -e windows ./src ./dist
