No, DOS calls know nothing about the end-of-line conventions.

No, the DOS kernel doesn't care.  It's the C library that does.  The
DOS kernel functions always read and write in what we call the "binary
mode", i.e. they don't make any conversions between newline and CRLF
or vice versa.  This is always done by the C library.
