I try to generate some xml files (TMX) on our servers.

The servers are Solaris SPARC servers, but the destination of the files are some legacy Windows CAT Tools.

The CAT-Tool requires CR+LF line endings as is the default on Windows. Writing the files with libxml2, using xmlWriter is easy and works quite well. But I haven’t figured out a way to force the lib to emit CR+LF instead of the Unix standard LF. The lib only seem to support the line ending of the platform it runs on.

Has somebody found a way to generate files with another line ending than the default of the platform it runs on. Actually my workaround is to open the written file and writing a new file with the changed line ending using a simple C loop. That works, but it is annoying to have such a unnecessary step in our chain.

    I haven’t tried this myself, but from xmlsave, I can see two possibilities

    • xmlSaveToBuffer: save to a buffer, convert to CR/LF and write it out yourself.
    • xmlSaveToIO: register an iowrite callback and convert to CF/LF while writing in your callback function

    Maybe, there are other options, but I haven’t found them.
