newline
<character, jargon> /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 Berkeleyism. 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
"
" 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.

Newline
Newline (frequently called line ending, end of line (EOL), next line (NEL) or line break) is a control character or sequence of control characters in character encoding specifications such as ASCII, EBCDIC, Unicode, etc. This character, or a sequence of characters, is used to signify the end of a line of text and the start of a new one.
