Difference between CR LF, LF and CR line break types?

Question

I\'d like to know the difference (with examples if possible) between CR LF (Windows), LF (Unix) and CR (Macintosh) line break types.

Answer 1

Since there's no answer stating just this, summarized succinctly:

Carriage Return (MAC pre-OSX)

• CR
• \r
• ASCII code 13

Line Feed (Linux, MAC OSX)

• LF
• \n
• ASCII code 10

Carriage Return and Line Feed (Windows)

• CRLF
• \r\n
• ASCII code 13 and then ASCII code 10

If you see ASCII code in a strange format, they are merely the number 13 and 10 in a different radix/base, usually base 8 (octal) or base 16 (hexadecimal).
