difference between ldo & linear regulators

How LDO differs from Linear regulators
 

yes i agree with fredflinstone because LDO is Low DropOut regulator that's mean that the difference between the input voltage & the output is very low (0.1 to 0.4V).
regards.
 

I would like to add a small point.
In LDO, the difference in voltage can be low (not necessarily low always as it depends on the design). In a normal linear regulator the output voltage starts dropping when Vin comes below Vout +1V whereas in an LDO output voltage sustains till Vin = Vout + dropout voltage (typically in mV).
