NEWS_COPY
specifies that no escape sequence interpretation should be done (included is the backslash/new-line sequence).
NEWS_SIGN
specifies that separator characters (signs) and not sequences of separator signs separate words. Zero long words (in between two consequent separator signs or a new line sign and a separator sign or a separator sign and a new line sign) are picked up.
Without the ‘NEWS_SIGN’ bit set, groups of separator characters appearing after or before new line signs do not pick the otherwise zero length words.
NEWS_TAIL
specifies that separators recognition should stop with the last word, if a maximum number of words to split the line into has been given.
NEWS_ZERO
specifies that zero is to be included in the list separator characters.
