   -- Handling of Format Characters --

   -----------------------------------
   --  Line marks are represented by the single character Ascii.LF (16#0A#).
   --  In DOS and similar systems, underlying file translation takes care
   --  of translating this to and from the standard CR/LF sequences used in
   --  these operating systems to mark the end of a line. On output there is
   --  always a line mark at the end of the last line, but on input, this

   --  line mark can be omitted, and is implied by the end of file.
   --  Page marks are represented by the single character Ascii.FF (16#0C#),
   --  The page mark at the end of the file may be omitted, and is normally
   --  omitted on output unless an explicit New_Page call is made before
   --  closing the file. No page mark is added when a file is appended to,
   --  so, in accordance with the permission in (RM A.10.2(4)), there may
   --  or may not be a page mark separating preexising text in the file

   --  from the new text to be written.
   --  A file mark is marked by the physical end of file. In DOS translation
   --  mode on input, an EOF character (SUB = 16#1A#) gets translated to the
   --  physical end of file, so in effect this character is recognized as

   --  marking the end of file in DOS and similar systems.
   LM : constant := Character'Pos (Ascii.LF);

   --  Used as line mark
   PM : constant := Character'Pos (Ascii.FF);

   --  Used as page mark, except at end of file where it is implied

      --  This flag is used to deal with the anomolies introduced by the
      --  peculiar definition of End_Of_File and End_Of_Page in Ada. These
      --  functions require looking ahead more than one character. Since
      --  there is no convenient way of backing up more than one character,
      --  what we do is to leave ourselves positioned past the LM, but set
      --  this flag, so that we know that from an Ada point of view we are

      --  in front of the LM, not after it. A bit of a kludge, but it works!
      Before_LM_PM : Boolean := False;
      --  This flag similarly handles the case of being physically positioned
      --  after a LM-PM sequence when logically we are before the LM-PM. This

      --  flag can only be set if Before_LM is also set.
      Before_Wide_Character : Boolean := False;
      --  This flag is always False for Text_IO files. It is used in the wide
      --  character case to indicate that a wide character in the input has
      --  been read by Wide_Text_IO.Look_Ahead. If it is set to True, then it
      --  means that the stream is logically positioned before the character
      --  but is physically positioned after it. The character involved must
      --  not be in the range 16#00#-16#7F#, i.e. if the flag is set, then we
      --  know the next character has a code greater than 16#7F#. The reason
      --  we define this flag in the base Text_IO control block is that there
      --  are routines shared between Text_IO and Wide_Text_IO, notably the
      --  numeric input routines in Ada.Text_IO.Generic_Aux, which need to
      --  test the flag (note that if it is set, the next character cannot

      --  be a valid character in a numeric item).
