@cindex invalid characters for @code{trf} request
+
While @code{cf} copies the contents of @var{file} completely unprocessed,
@code{trf} disallows characters such as NUL that are not valid
@code{gtroff} input characters (@pxref{Identifiers}).
+For @code{cf}, within a diversion, `completely unprocessed' means that
+each line of a file to be inserted is handled as if it were preceded by
+@code{\!\\!}.
+
Both requests cause a line break.
