@vindex require-final-newline
If the value of the variable @code{require-final-newline} is @code{t},
Emacs silently puts a newline at the end of any file that doesn't
already end in one, every time a file is saved or written. If the value
is @code{nil}, Emacs leaves the end of the file unchanged; if it's
neither @code{nil} nor @code{t}, Emacs asks you whether to add a
newline. The default is @code{nil}.
If the value of the variable @code{require-final-newline} is
@code{t}, Emacs silently puts a newline at the end of any file that
doesn't already end in one, every time a file is saved or written. If
the value is @code{visit}, Emacs adds a newline at the end of any file
that doesn't have one, just after it visits the file. (This marks the
buffer as modified, and you can undo it.) If the value is
@code{visit-save}, that means to add newlines both on visiting and on
saving. If the value is @code{nil}, Emacs leaves the end of the file
unchanged; if it's neither @code{nil} nor @code{t}, Emacs asks you
whether to add a newline. The default is @code{nil}.
@vindex mode-require-final-newline
Many major modes are designed for specific kinds of files that are
always supposed to end in newlines. These major modes set the
variable @code{require-final-newline} according to
@code{mode-require-final-newline}. By setting the latter variable,
you can control how these modes handle final newlines.
