[patch] termios.3: Clarify the description of ONLRET

[patch] termios.3: Clarify the description of ONLRET

[Simon Branch]

Hello!  While perusing various termios(3) and termios(4) manpages (as one does)
I noticed the following inconsistency for ONLRET.  FreeBSD and NetBSD say
this:

   If ONLRET is set, the NL character is assumed to do the carriage-return
   function; the column pointer will be set to 0.

OpenBSD says this:

   If ONLRET is set, NL also performs CR on output, and reset current column
   to 0.

POSIX says this:

   NL performs CR function.

The current Linux manpage says this (!):

   Don't output CR.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the purpose of this flag, but (if nothing else) the
constrast here is a little confusing.  It looks like Linux follows the same
behavior as all the other platforms:

   $ stty -icanon -onlcr -icrnl -echo onlret onocr; cat
   this is some text			(^J pressed)
                    and some more	(^M pressed before additional text)

Comments?  OK?
