Expand description
Iterate over lines, including the line ending character(s).
This module provides the posix_version function, that returns
Some(usize) if the _POSIX2_VERSION environment variable is defined
and has value that can be parsed.
Otherwise returns None, so the calling utility would assume default behavior.
NOTE: GNU (as of v9.4) recognizes three distinct values for POSIX version
Utilities that rely on this module:
sort (TBD)
tail (TBD)
touch (TBD)
uniq
