# conversion (see \code{\link{ci_encode}}), and/or
# splitting of text into lines (see \code{\link{ci_split_lines1}})
# can be performed.

# @param con name of the output file or a connection object
#        (opened in the binary mode)

# Returns a vector of type \code{raw}.

# @title
# Read Text Lines from a Text File
#
# @description
# Reads a text file in ins entirety, re-encodes it, and splits it into text lines.
#
# @details
# This aims to be a substitute for the \code{\link{readLines}} function,
# with the ability to re-encode the input file in a much more robust way,
# and split the text into lines with \code{\link{ci_split_lines1}}
# (which conforms with the Unicode guidelines for newline markers).
#
# The function calls \code{\link{ci_read_raw}},
# \code{\link{ci_encode}}, and \code{\link{ci_split_lines1}},
# in this order.
#
# Because of the way this function is currently implemented,
# maximal file size cannot exceed ~0.67 GB.
#
# @param con name of the output file or a connection object
#        (opened in the binary mode)
# @param encoding single string; input encoding;
# \code{NULL} or \code{''} for the current default encoding.
# @param fname [DEPRECATED] alias of \code{con}
#
# @return
# Returns a character vector, each text line is a separate string.
# The output is always marked as UTF-8.

# @family files
# @export

# @title
# Write Text Lines to a Text File
#
# @description
# Writes a text file is such a way that each element of a given
# character vector becomes a separate text line.
#
#
# @details
# It is a substitute for the \R \code{\link{writeLines}} function,
# with the ability to easily re-encode the output.
#
# We suggest using the UTF-8 encoding for all text files:
# thus, it is the default one for the output.
#

# @param con name of the output file or a connection object
#        (opened in the binary mode)
# @param encoding output encoding, \code{NULL} or \code{''} for
# the current default one
# @param sep newline separator
# @param fname [DEPRECATED] alias of \code{con}
#
# @return
# This function returns nothing noteworthy.
#
# @family files
# @export
#
# Charr implementation, not copied from stringi: missing strings are an
# error, and `sep` has no platform-dependent default. A single path with
# UTF-8 output streams the records natively. Any other combination follows
# stringi's join-then-encode order with this backend's ci_c() and ci_encode()
# and writes the encoded records in chunks.
