Обсуждение: EOL on OS X

What is the default end-of-line character on OS X?  7.4 COPY will
support \n, \r, and \r\n, and I need to know that to use as a default on
OS X.

Traditional Mac is to use \r.  However OSX is really Unix underneath
where Postgres works so I think it would be better to stick with \n.
I don't know exactly what they are doing, but I've noticed that OSX
applications don't seem to have a problem with \n in text files the
way they did under OS9.

AFAIK only Windows uses the \r\n combination.

Yeah.  I'd concur with accepting bare \r as newline, but not ever using
it as default.
