How to configure GNU Emacs to write UNIX or DOS formatted files by default?

I've had these functions in my .emacs.el file for years:

(defun dos2unix ()
  "Convert a DOS formatted text buffer to UNIX format"
  (interactive)
  (set-buffer-file-coding-system 'undecided-unix nil))

(defun unix2dos ()
  "Convert a UNIX formatted text buffer to DOS format"
  (interactive)
  (set-buffer-file-coding-system 'undecided-dos nil))

These functions allow me to easily switch between formats, but I'm not sure how to configure Emacs to write in one particular format by default regardless of which platform I'm using. As it is now, when I run on Windows, Emacs saves in Windows format; when I run in UNIX/Linux, Emacs saves in UNIX format.

I'd like to instruct Emacs to write in 开发者_JS百科UNIX format regardless of the platform on which I'm running. How do I do this?

Should I perhaps add some text mode hook that calls one of these functions? For example, if I'm on Windows, then call dos2unix when I find a text file?


I've got a bunch of these in my .emacs:

(setq-default buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(setq-default default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8-unix)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)

I don't know which is right, I am just superstitious.


I up-voted question and answer, but spent a couple minutes possibly improving on the info, so I'll add it.

First, I checked documentation on each variable and function in user181548's answer, by (first cutting and pasting into Emacs, then) putting cursor over each, and typing C-h v RET and C-h f RET respectively.

This suggested that I might only need

(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) 

Experimenting with the other lines didn't seem to change pre-existing buffer encodings (typing C-h C RET RET to check (describe-coding-system) and g each time to refresh), so I omitted the other lines and made a key-binding to quickly change any old files that were still DOS, that is,

(defun set-bfr-to-8-unx ()
  (interactive)
  (set-buffer-file-coding-system
   'utf-8-unix)
  )
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c u") 
        'set-bfr-to-8-unx
        )

For the curious, to discover the 3rd and 4th line of above function, (set-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8-unix), I used C-x RET f RET to manually change the current buffer's encoding, then M-x command-history RET to see how those keys translate to code.

Now maybe my git commit's will stop whining about CRs.
