Well I prefer not using abreviations in documentation (char -> character, max -> maximum); of course, those are obvious, but I think it's in general better to use plain words. As for line vs. newline, I have no preference, I simply used the term from the first part of the description (for the same reason, I used the singular form, as in "newline count").
