The $LANG Variable

There are two Solaris commands—/usr/bin/dos2unix and /usr/bin/unix2dos—that enable you to specify code pages. For example, to convert the task_list file, created with code page 850, from a DOS to a Solaris format, use the dos2unix command, and enter the following:

---

C:\> dos2unix -850 task_list task_list  

---

If the code page is not specified on the command line, dos2unix and unix2dos will check the $LANG environment variable to determine which code page to use. To check whether your $LANG variable is set, enter the following in a Solaris command window:

---

% env | grep LANG

---

If you do not have the $LANG variable set, or if it is set to anything but the settings listed in Table B–4, SunPCi software uses the default US code page 437 and the en_US (English-US) $LANG setting.
