5/// Wraps a writer and buffers output to it, flushing whenever a newline
6/// (`0x0a`, `'\n'`) is detected.
7///
8/// The [`BufWriter`] struct wraps a writer and buffers its output.
9/// But it only does this batched write when it goes out of scope, or when the
10/// internal buffer is full. Sometimes, you'd prefer to write each line as it's
11/// completed, rather than the entire buffer at once. Enter `LineWriter`. It
12/// does exactly that.
13///
14/// Like [`BufWriter`], a `LineWriter`’s buffer will also be flushed when the
15/// `LineWriter` goes out of scope or when its internal buffer is full.
16///
17/// If there's still a partial line in the buffer when the `LineWriter` is
18/// dropped, it will flush those contents.
19///
20/// # Examples
21///
22/// We can use `LineWriter` to write one line at a time, significantly
23/// reducing the number of actual writes to the file.
24///
25/// ```no_run
26/// use std::fs::{self, File};
27/// use std::io::prelude::*;
28/// use std::io::LineWriter;
29///
30/// fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
31///     let road_not_taken = b"I shall be telling this with a sigh
32/// Somewhere ages and ages hence:
33/// Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
34/// I took the one less traveled by,
35/// And that has made all the difference.";
36///
37///     let file = File::create("poem.txt")?;
38///     let mut file = LineWriter::new(file);
39///
40///     file.write_all(b"I shall be telling this with a sigh")?;
41///
42///     // No bytes are written until a newline is encountered (or
43///     // the internal buffer is filled).
44///     assert_eq!(fs::read_to_string("poem.txt")?, "");
45///     file.write_all(b"\n")?;
46///     assert_eq!(
47///         fs::read_to_string("poem.txt")?,
48///         "I shall be telling this with a sigh\n",
49///     );
50///
51///     // Write the rest of the poem.
52///     file.write_all(b"Somewhere ages and ages hence:
53/// Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
54/// I took the one less traveled by,
55/// And that has made all the difference.")?;
56///
57///     // The last line of the poem doesn't end in a newline, so
58///     // we have to flush or drop the `LineWriter` to finish
59///     // writing.
60///     file.flush()?;
61///
62///     // Confirm the whole poem was written.
63///     assert_eq!(fs::read("poem.txt")?, &road_not_taken[..]);
64///     Ok(())
