What do carriage-return, line-feed and form-feed bytes
look like?

Binary representation of functions such as printable characters, carriage-returns,
line-feeds and form-feeds are purely arbitrary, however certain standards have
emerged. In almost all cases the carriage-return, line-feed and form-feed bytes are
represented by the following decimal values:

What is the best way to interpret the carriage-return, line-
feed and form-feed input characters?
feed and form-feed input characters?
In light of the fact that carriage-returns and form-feeds may or may not be required,
it is recommended that the following actions be defined for each of these functions.
In this way they will be interpreted correctly should they be included in the data,
however simple line-end-only terminated lines will still function.
