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.
