It s  n  When you re reading or writing text mode files  or to stdin stdout etc  you must use  n  and C will handle the translation for you  When you re dealing with binary files  by definition you are on your own

r    carriage return and   n    line feed   In fact  there are some different behaviors when you use them in different OSes  On Unix it is   n   but it is   r   n  on Windows

What is the newline character in the C language   r or  n    The new-line may be thought of a some char and it has the value of   n    C11 5 2 1  This C new-line comes up in 3 places  C source code  as a single char and as an end-of-line in file I O when in text mode    Many compilers will treat source text as ASCII   In that case  codes 10  sometimes 13  and sometimes paired 13 10 as new-line for source code   Had the source code been in another character set  different codes may be used   This new-line typically marks the end of a line of source code  actually a bit more complicated here      comment  and   directives  In source code  the 2 characters   and n represent the char new-line as  n   If ASCII is used   this char would have the value of 10  In file I O  in text mode  upon reading the bytes of the input file  and stdin   depending on the environment  when bytes with the value s   of 10  Unix   13 10    1   Windows   13  Old Mac    and other variations are translated in to a   n    Upon writing a file  or stdout   the reverse translation occurs  Note  File I O in binary mode makes no translation    The   r  in source code is the carriage return char     1  A lone 13 and or 10 may also translate into  n

If you mean by newline the newline character it is  n and  r is the carrier return character  but if you mean by newline the line ending then it depends on the operating system  DOS uses carriage return and line feed    r n   as a line ending  which Unix uses just line feed    n
