If you are using Ada.Text_IO, there is no "keyword" for the end of line.
Text_IO is a line-oriented view of a file; you have to read the file
with Get_Line, and keep track of line breaks yourself.

If you are reading the file with Stream_IO, then you should see some
character(s) representing the line break, but this is operating system
(and editor!) dependent.
