Alternate End-of-Line Delimiter
Alternate End-of-Line Delimiter
In some applications, the null character (end-of-text) is a better
way to mark end-of-line then the normal '\n' character.
Notes
Without the alternate end-of-line concern, it would still
be a good idea to use the symbolic constant eolchar.
- Define default end of line (eolchar)
-
Variable definition
- Notes
-
Without this concern, eolchar could be declared as
"const int" or a "#define".
Not only does this provide a mutable version of the
end-of-line, it also joins the input and output notions
of end-of-line.

Without this concern, fillbuf() assumes that the notion of
end-of-line is fixed in the universe.
