Text - Non-printing Character (Tabulation, New Line, )

To mark line endings in text files, the following characters are used:

  • Unix/Linux file systems use newlines (\n).
  • MacOS uses carriage-returns (\r).
  • Windows uses a carriage-return followed by a newline (\r\n).

Then a line can be considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed. Supporting all possible line terminators allows programs to read text files created on any of the widely used operating systems.

The line separator used by the in-memory representation of file contents is always the newline character. When a file is being loaded, the line separator used in the file on disk is stored in a per-buffer property, and all line-endings are converted to newline characters for the in-memory representation. When the buffer is consequently saved, the value of the property replaces newline characters when the buffer is saved to disk.

Also known as Line break sequences
