22.6.1 Complete external format ef-specs

An ef-spec is "complete" if and only if the name is not :default and the parameters include :eol-style .

All external formats have an :eol-style parameter. If eol-style is not explicit in an ef-spec a default is used. The allowed values are

:lf

This is the default on Unix/Linux/FreeBSD/Mac OS X systems, meaning that lines are terminated by Linefeed.

:crlf

This is the default on Windows, meaning that lines are terminated by Carriage-Return followed by Linefeed.

:cr

Lines are terminated by Carriage-Return.
