#' Read/write lines to/from a file
#'
#' `read_lines()` reads up to `n_max` lines from a file. New lines are
#' not included in the output. `read_lines_raw()` produces a list of raw
#' vectors, and is useful for handling data with unknown encoding.
#' `write_lines()` takes a character vector or list of raw vectors, appending a
#' new line after each entry.
#'
#' @inheritParams datasource
#' @inheritParams read_delim
#' @param n_max Number of lines to read. If `n_max` is -1, all lines in
#'   file will be read.
#' @return `read_lines()`: A character vector with one element for each line.
#'   `read_lines_raw()`: A list containing a raw vector for each line.
#' @param x A character vector or list of raw vectors to write to disk.
#' @param sep The line separator. Defaults to `\\n`, commonly used on POSIX
#' systems like macOS and linux. For native windows (CRLF) separators use
#' `\\r\\n`.
