writeLine

writeLine(handle, line, [windowsLineEnding])

The optional Boolean parameter windowsLineEnding is the line ending character. If the parameter is not specified, the line ending character would be:

• \r\n if handle is a socket

• \n if handle is a file and the operation system is not Windows

• \r\n if handle is a file and the operating system is Windows

Write a line to the given handle. The function will automatically append a line delimiter to the string. Thus the string shouldn't end with a line delimiter. If the operation succeeds, it returns 1; otherwise, an IOException will be raised.
