- BAT2CSH(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual BAT2CSH(1)
-
-
-
- NAME
- bat2csh - filter that converts DOS batch to UNIX C shell
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Interactive mode:
-
- bat2csh
-
- But usually:
-
- bat2csh <filename.bat >filename
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Bat2csh makes a literal conversion of DOS batch commands
- to UNIX C shell commands. It reads from standard input
- (stdin) and writes to standard output (stdout). Changes
- can be made to the resulting csh script to match the naming
- conventions of the destination computer. To take advantage
- of the additional control structures available within csh,
- one may wish to restructure the resulting script.
-
- Remember to use the chmod +x command to make the csh script
- executable.
-
- ERROR REPORTING
- When a DOS batch syntax error is detected, bat2csh will
- write to stdout the error message ### SYNTAX ERROR ###.
-
- The last line of the batch file should end with a newline.
- If not, bat2csh will usually handle it. But if bat2csh has
- a problem with the missing newline, it will write the error
- message ### PREMATURE END-OF-FILE ### to stdout. The last
- line of the batch file will not have been successfully
- converted.
-
- If there are any errors, the number of errors are written
- to the monitor (stderr).
-
- LIMITATIONS
- Bat2csh does not consider the % character to be a legal
- character within a filename. Bat2csh uses the % character
- to locate replaceable parameters and replaceable variables.
-
- SEE ALSO
- csh(1), chmod(1)
