newline
A declaration that changes the newline sequence for all data input or output by the program. As a side effect, it also causes all input and output to be performed in the binary mode. If the programmer wishes to write text files in a program that has a newline
declaration, the system-specific newline sequence must be written out explicitly. Such programs are less portable.
The newline
declaration is deprecated. Programmers are strongly recommended to use text-mode
and binary-mode
to individually specifiy whether streams or input files contain binary data or text. The declare #main-output
and declare #main-input
declarations are the recommended way to set the mode for the main input and output.
When the newline
declaration is used in a program, the text-mode
and binary-mode
open modifiers are prohibited.
The default mode for all streams is text-mode
unless the deprecated newline
is used in the program.
