EOL
End Of Line. In Java, usually the end of line is marked by \n (0x0a). In native files, sometimes end of line is marked by \r\n 0x0d 0x0a. (e.g. in Windows systems which hark back to the teletype which had to be told separately to move the printhead to the left margin and one line down.) If you use a DataOutputStream, there will be no special marker unless you put one there. To code in a platform-independent way use:
String eol = System.getProperty("line.separator");
Note the spelling. 80% of programmers are under the delusion "separator" is spelled "seperator". The println, newLine and readLine methods should let you ignore the problem of local newline conventions.

Sometimes means End Of Life.
