|    To visit a file and specify whether it uses DOS-style or Unix-style
| end-of-line, specify a coding system (*note Text Coding::).  For
| example, `C-x <RET> c unix <RET> C-x C-f foobar.txt' visits the file
| `foobar.txt' without converting the EOLs; if some line ends with a
| carriage-return linefeed pair, Emacs will display `^M' at the end of
| that line.  Similarly, you can direct Emacs to save a buffer in a
| specified EOL format with the `C-x <RET> f' command.  For example, to
| save a buffer with Unix EOL format, type `C-x <RET> f unix <RET> C-x
| C-s'.  If you visit a file with DOS EOL conversion, then save it with
| Unix EOL format, that effectively converts the file to Unix EOL style,
| like `dos2unix'.
