3.206 Line
A sequence of zero or more non- <newline> characters plus a terminating
<newline> character.

3.397 Text File
A file that contains characters organized into zero or more lines. The
lines do not contain NUL characters and none can exceed {LINE_MAX} bytes
in length, including the <newline> character. Although POSIX.1-2008 does
not distinguish between text files and binary files (see the ISO C
standard), many utilities only produce predictable or meaningful output
when operating on text files. The standard utilities that have such
restrictions always specify "text files" in their STDIN or INPUT FILES
sections.
