Introduction

The plugin provides validation for the line endings of a file.

Installation

See installation. The package is called libelektra5-extra.

Usage

The plugin checks the line endings of a file. It validates the line endings against consistency and if the key /valid is present also against the specified line ending. Inconsistent line endings or line endings that don't match /valid yield an error in case of kdbSet. In the case of kdbGet the plugin yields a warning instead.

Configuration

The key /valid tells the plugin to reject all line endings other than specified and can have the following options:

• CRLF: Carriage return followed by a line feed
• LFCR: Line feed followed by a carriage return
• CR: Carriage return only
• LF: Line feed only

If the key doesn't exist only inconsistent line endings are rejected.
