Reads an entire line from a file into a buffer. Lines may
be delimited with '\n', '\r', '\n\r', or '\r\n'. The delimiter
is not written into the buffer. Text after a '#' character is treated as
a comment and skipped. '\' can be used to escape a # character.
'\' proceeding a line delimiter combines adjacent lines. A '\' proceeding
any other character is ignored and written into the output buffer
unmodified.
0 if the stream was already at an EOF character, otherwise the number of lines read (this is useful for maintaining a line number counter which doesn't combine lines with '\')
