end of line
Where waiting stops
End of line marks where a line of text terminates, whether on a page, screen, or in code.
In computing, it's an invisible character signaling where one line ends and the next begins—different operating systems handle this differently, which can cause formatting headaches when files move between systems.
The phrase also means the final stop on a transportation route: This is the end of line; all passengers must exit.
