Treating Text_IO Files as Streams (GNAT Reference Manual)

#### 12.5.4 Treating Text_IO Files as Streams ¶

The package `Text_IO.Streams` allows a `Text_IO` file to be treated as a stream. Data written to a `Text_IO` file in this stream mode is binary data. If this binary data contains bytes 16#0A# (`LF`) or 16#0C# (`FF`), the resulting file may have non-standard format. Similarly if read operations are used to read from a Text_IO file treated as a stream, then `LF` and `FF` characters may be skipped and the effect is similar to that described above for `Get_Immediate`.
