No, CR is a carriage return, which is a \r in C, and is an ASCII 13 (hex 0D).

"Newline" is a line feed (LF), which is a \n in C, and is an ASCII 10 (hex 0A)

Oh.  IIRC, CR is the DOS way, and LR is the POSIX way.

Not exactly; CRLF is the DOS way, CR is the Macintosh way, and LF is Unix/Posix.

HTH.
