761 A test whether output needs to be written is done when the input
762 buffer empties or when a newline appears in the input. After
763 output is written, at most (OUTSIZE - 1) bytes will remain in the
764 buffer. Now INSIZE bytes of input is read. Each input character
765 may grow by a factor of 4 (by the prepending of M-^). If all
766 characters do, and no newlines appear in this block of input, we
767 will have at most (OUTSIZE - 1 + INSIZE * 4) bytes in the buffer.
768 If the last character in the preceding block of input was a
769 newline, a line number may be written (according to the given
770 options) as the first thing in the output buffer. (Done after the
771 new input is read, but before processing of the input begins.)
772 A line number requires seldom more than LINE_COUNTER_BUF_LEN
773 positions.
775 Align the output buffer to a page size boundary, for efficiency
