This wording seems to faintly suggest that ONLRET is meant to cause NL to do /also/ CR besides doing NL. Is that whjat is meant? Or does it just mean that when ONLRET is set that the receiving end will do also a CR when a LF is received? The tty doesn't do any conversion, it just has to be aware that sending a LF causes also a CR in order to be able to line things up properly?
