Package: Streams
Header: Poco/LineEndingConverter.h

## Description

This stream buffer performs line ending conversion on text streams. The converter can convert from and to the Unix (LF), Mac (CR) and DOS/Windows/Network (CF-LF) endings.

Any newline sequence in the source will be replaced by the target newline sequence.

## Inheritance

All Base Classes: UnbufferedStreamBuf

## Member Summary

Member Functions: getNewLine, readFromDevice, setNewLine, writeToDevice

## Constructors

### LineEndingConverterStreamBuf

LineEndingConverterStreamBuf(
std::istream & istr
);

Creates the LineEndingConverterStreamBuf and connects it to the given input stream.

### LineEndingConverterStreamBuf

LineEndingConverterStreamBuf(
std::ostream & ostr
);

Creates the LineEndingConverterStreamBuf and connects it to the given output stream.

## Destructor

### ~LineEndingConverterStreamBuf

~LineEndingConverterStreamBuf();

Destroys the LineEndingConverterStream.

## Member Functions

### getNewLine

const std::string & getNewLine() const;

Returns the line ending currently in use.

### setNewLine

void setNewLine(
const std::string & newLineCharacters
);

Sets the target line ending for the converter.

Possible values are:

- NEWLINE_DEFAULT (whatever is appropriate for the current platform)
- NEWLINE_CRLF (Windows),
- NEWLINE_LF (Unix),
- NEWLINE_CR (Macintosh)

In theory, any character sequence can be used as newline sequence. In practice, however, only the above three make sense.

### readFromDevice

int readFromDevice();

### writeToDevice

int writeToDevice(
char c
);
