    A helper codec that decodes newlines for :term:`universal newlines` mode.
-   It inherits from :class:`codecs.IncrementalDecoder`.
+   It inherits from :class:`codecs.IncrementalDecoder`. It also records the types
+   of newlines encountered. When used with ``translate=False``, it ensures
+   that the newline sequence is returned in one piece. If an incremental
+   decoder is not required, :class:`TextIOWrapper` or :class:`StringIO`
+   should be used.
+
+   *decoder* is an incremental decoder or ``None``. If set to ``None`` it
+   decodes strings.
+
+   If *translate* is set to true, translate ``'\r\n'`` and ``'\r'`` into
+   ``'\n'``.
+
+   The *errors* argument works like that of
+   :class:`codecs.IncrementalDecoder`.

+      ``('\n', '\r\n')``, ``('\r', '\r\n')`` and
