+EOL-TYPE specifies the EOL type of the coding-system in one of the
+following formats:
+
+  o symbol (unix, dos, or mac)
+
+	The symbol `unix' means Unix-like EOL (LF), `dos' means
+	DOS-like EOL (CRLF), and `mac' means MAC-like EOL (CR).
+
+  o number (0, 1, or 2)
+
+	The number 0, 1, and 2 mean UNIX, DOS, and MAC-like EOL
+	respectively.
+
+  o vector of coding-systems of length 3
+
+	The EOL type is detected automatically for the coding system.
+	And, according to the detected EOL type, one of the coding
+	systems in the vector is selected.  Elements of the vector
+	corresponds to Unix-liek EOL, DOS-like EOL, and Mac-like EOL
