The newline character in Microsoft C (\n) is equivalent to the ASCII
linefeed character (hex 0A). Thus, for files opened in text mode,
CR/LF pairs are read in as newline characters, and newline characters
are written as CR/LF.
This information applies to STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR, which are
opened in text mode by default.
When using strtok() to extract tokens separated by CR/LF in a file
opened in text mode, only \n must be used as a token delimiter.
