Node: Treating Text_IO Files as Streams, Next: Text_IO Extensions, Previous: Get_Immediate, Up: Text_IO
The package Text_IO.Streams
allows a Text_IO file to be treated
as a stream. Data written to a Text_IO file in this stream mode is
binary data. If this binary data contains bytes 16#0A# (LF
) or
16#0C# (FF
), the resulting file may have non-standard
format. Similarly if read operations are used to read from a Text_IO
file treated as a stream, then LF
and FF
characters may be
skipped and the effect is similar to that described above for
Get_Immediate
.
