1. [techspeak, primarily Unix] The ASCII LF character (0001010), used
under {Unix} as a text line terminator. Though the term newline
appears in ASCII standards, it never caught on in the general
computing world before Unix.
2. More generally, any magic character, character sequence, or
operation (like Pascal's writeln procedure) required to terminate a
text record or separate lines. See {crlf}.
