Questions tagged [eol]

EOL is short for "end of line". In text files each line is terminated with characters such as linefeed or carriage return or a combination thereof.

EOL stands for "end of line" and refers to the various character or combination of characters that signify the end of each line of a text-based file.

For historical reasons there are various common EOLs:

  • linefeed or newline, ASCII 0x0A: common on systems with Unix heritage including Mac OS X
  • carriage return + linefeed, ASCII 0x0D 0x0A: common on systems with Microsoft DOS and Windows heritage and in text-based internet protocols
  • carriage return, ASCII 0x0D: used on Apple Macintosh up to System 7

These differences can present problems when using files and source code on multiple operating systems. Issues may be encountered with text editors, compilers, and revision controls systems.

Is \n multi-character in C?

I read that \n consists of CR & LF. Each has their own ASCII codes. So is the \n in C represented by a single character or is it multi-character? Edit: Kindly specify your answer, rather than simply saying "yes, it is" or "no, it isn't"
