I am trying to feed the output of wmic.exe - a windows console program, to cygwin bash script. 
wmic.exe produces UTF16LE output with BOM and CR/LFs, so I am using dos2unix to convert it. 
The problem is that when I write wmic.exe output to a file and then use dos2unix to convert this file 
I get the expected result - ASCII file with LFs, I get the same result when I pipe this file to dos2unix, 
but when I pipe wmic.exe output directly to dos2unix I get ASCII file with CR/LFs and an extra empty line. 
Cygwin is up to date, windows 10. What gives?

Here are the hexdumps

of 'wmic /NAMESPACE:\\\\root\\WMI PATH BatteryStatus get charging,voltage,remainingcapacity,chargerate>file'
