They reflect the current status of the file. They are not shown in the
line endings are the default for the system (so unix does not show on
a emacs running under unix, dos does not show on windows).
So if some of your files show "unix" and some show "dos" you are
presumably using a mac?
You probably want to find out why this is happening. Emacs will
generally cope, but having inconsistent file endings can cause havoc
with some applications.
