Right. One of the best features over dos2unix IMHO is that hd2u can detect line-endings (and any problems like mixed / stray line-endings) without actually modifying any files. This makes it a very nice tool to detect any line-ending issues in the working tree of cross-platform projects due to wrong autocrlf configurations.
