newline
/n[y]oo'li:n/ {Line feed} or other
character sequence used to terminate a line of text.
{Unix} uses {line feed} as its text line terminator - a
{Bell-Labs}-ism rather than a {Berkeley}ism. Interestingly
(and unusually for Unix jargon), it is said to have originally
been an {IBM} usage. Though the term "newline" appears in
{ASCII} {standards}, it never caught on in the general
computing world before {Unix}. The encoding of line feed as
"\n" in {C} and {Unix} strings comes from this name.
The term has been used more generally for any {end of line}
character, character sequence (e.g. {crlf}), or operation
(like {Pascal}'s writeln procedure or {Lisp 1.5}'s {terpri})
required to terminate a text record or separate lines.
