Based on what I have read, when a terminal is in raw mode, the characters are not processed by the terminal driver, but are sent straight through.
I set the terminal in raw mode using the command stty raw, and I noticed that the output is indented to the right each time until there is no more room. This is what I mean:
Why is this behavior happening?!

Method 1
One of the stty settings (onlcr) tells the terminal driver to convert newline (which is actually ASCII line-feed) to carriage-return plus line-feed.
Unix-like systems just write a newline to end lines, letting the terminal driver do the right thing (convert newline to carriage-return plus line-feed).
Carriage-return “goes left” and line-feed “goes down”.
When you set the terminal to raw mode, newline will no longer be converted to carriage-return plus line-feed. Lacking the carriage-returns, you get that staircase effect.
