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').
CRLF <character> /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).
