/**
 * Apply a line separator to the requested {@link String} and encode it into a {@link ByteBuf}.
 * A typical setup for a text-based line protocol in a TCP/IP socket would be:
 * <pre>
 * {@link ChannelPipeline} pipeline = ...;
 *
 * // Decoders
 * pipeline.addLast("frameDecoder", new {@link LineBasedFrameDecoder}(80));
 * pipeline.addLast("stringDecoder", new {@link StringDecoder}(CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
 *
 * // Encoder
 * pipeline.addLast("lineEncoder", new {@link LineEncoder}(LineSeparator.UNIX, CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
 * </pre>
 * and then you can use a {@link String} instead of a {@link ByteBuf}
 * as a message:
 * <pre>
 * void channelRead({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link String} msg) {
 *     ch.write("Did you say '" + msg + "'?");
 * }
 * </pre>
