What is EOL?

Answer 1

EOL terminology is also related to fire alarm systems. It is the end of line resistor that is in each pull station loop. It is used to put a load on the circuit so that each circuit draws a current. This in turn is how a trouble is monitored, if the circuit gets opened a trouble alarm will sound notifying maintenance that the circuit is inoperative. First thing which I am familiar with, which kinda goes back to the "older" days, is that EOL = End Of line. The term is largely archaic outside the bounds of mainframes.

For home computers, the "EOL" is usually "LF"+"CR", or linefeed (advance to next line) + CR (archaic but still in use - Carriage Return, which moves the cursor to the beginning of the line), thus "LF+CR" is used most often in DOS and Windows applications while some applications and/or operating systems treat just the "CR" to mean both... Go to next line AND go to the beginning.... basically the exact way the CR on a typewriter works. Hitting "CR" on a typewriter both advances the paper one line, and moves the carriage, or "typing spot" to column one.

Wow, the old days... heheh

Answer 2

EOL is usually used as an abbreviation for End of Life. When a product is no longer being supported by it's producer, it is said to have reached the end of it's life. Such products may still be usable, but since any further bugs or security flaws found may nor be fixed, it's useful life will probably end soon as well.
