LINTIAN

# `carriage-return-line-feed`

The given control file uses `CRLF` as line terminator instead of the traditional UNIX `LF` terminator. Since some tools were only designed with the UNIX end-of-line terminators in mind, it is possible that they misbehave or lead to unexpected results.

Running the following command against the given file removes any `CR` character in the file:

`sed -i 's/\r//g' path/to/file`

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `control-file-with-CRLF-EOLs`
