End Of Record (EOR)

Option code: 25

See also: RFC 855

When enabled, this Telnet option allows sending the bytecode 239 (EOR) to signal the end of a data unit. In MUD environments it is used when sending a prompt (which does not end with a newline), but inform the client that it should display the content from the receive buffer to the user.
