V.E.R.A. -- Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms (February 2016):
CRLF
Carriage Return - Line Feed (ASCII, DOS)
The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003):
crlf
/ker'l@f/, /kru?l@f/, /C?R?L?F/, n.
(often capitalized as ?CRLF?) A carriage return (CR, ASCII 0001101)
followed by a line feed (LF, ASCII 0001010). More loosely, whatever it
takes to get you from the end of one line of text to the beginning of the
next line. See newline. Under Unix influence this usage has become less
common (Unix uses a bare line feed as its ?CRLF?).
The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
CRLF
/ker'l*f/, sometimes /kru'l*f/ or /C-R-L-F/ A
carriage return (CR, ASCII 13) followed by a line feed
(LF, ASCII 10). Under Unix influence this usage has
become less common because Unix uses just line feed as its
line terminator.
See newline, terpri.
