What do you mean exactly?  What language(s)?  If I understand your
question correctly, the C / C++ / Java / PHP (and I think Perl)
'newline' character is '\n'

I meant what ascii character does \n actual correspond to (I assume <CR> but just making sure)

On Unix, the end of line character is NL (012 octal, 10 decimal, 0x0a hex) --
see ascii(7).  Some people know it as Ctrl-J
