3.206 Line
A sequence of zero or more non- <newline> characters plus a terminating <newline> character.
See also ‘3.403 Text File’ for the definition of a text file. No new line characters, no lines. No lines, not a text file.
- wtetzner 3y ago> No lines, not a text file. That seems like a broken (maybe just bad?) definition/specification to me. A blob of JSON in a file isn't "text" if there's no newline character trailing it?
- simonh 3y agoThere are other definitions of a text file than the opengroup spec, particularly for specific OS platforms. I’m not sure what convention JSON follows. As a spec it’s fine. It defines a text file in such a way that you can easily write code to process such a file deterministicaly.
