EOL Initialization Variable
Sets the end-of-line character that is used when Visual SourceSafe gets or checks out text files. By default, Visual SourceSafe uses the Windows character style. However, you can set this environment variable to change the default as required.
Note
For the EOL environment variable to have any effect, the Append_EOL environment variable must be set to Yes.
Syntax
EOL = {n or LF|r or CR|rn or CRLF}
Remarks
The following table shows the possible values for the EOL initialization variable and the corresponding end-of-line characters.
| Initialization Variable Value | End-of-line Character | Operating System Style |
|---|---|---|
rn or CRLF |
Carriage return-line feed pair |
Windows |
n or LF |
Line feed |
UNIX |
r or CR |
Carriage return |
Macintosh |
For all Visual SourceSafe clients to use the same end-of-line character style, set the EOL initialization variable in the Srcsafe.ini file. If you have an environment requiring different character styles on different machines, you can have each user set the variable as needed in the corresponding Ss.ini file.
Examples
Specifies the use of a Windows-style carriage return at the end of each text line for the team environment:
Append_EOL=Yes
EOL = CRLF
