Newline
special character in computing signifying the end of a line of text
(Redirected from Line feed)
Newline, also called line feed, is the name of a computer character that directs a printer or screen display to advance one line of text. The word "feed" refers to its original use: causing paper to be fed through a teletype, one line at a time. On some systems, such as the Unix family, it also returns to the beginning of the line, like the carriage return character.
