The function ns-string-to-string returns a Lisp string containing the characters in ns-string.

If preserve-line-terminators is nil (the default), then character code 13 is ignored after character code 10 and other occurrences of character code 13 are converted to #Newline. This allows lines to be terminated by LF, CR or CRLF. Otherwise, character code 13 is converted to #Return.
