Why use EOF in Linux?
 

Hi Experts,
Why use EOF in linux?
plz explain......

EOF means End-Of-File. It is used to terminate a source of input data, whereas the input data is a file or a stream. In linux you issue a EOF by pressing Ctrl-D to terminate the standard input, the DOS equivalent is Ctrl-Z. What is the scope of your question? Where did you encounter EOF?

To mark the end of a file or stream. Just like in almost any existant OS.

It quite looks like a homework to me.

Strange however, it's way more complicated to register here, and post a thread than it is to write "eof wiki" in the url bar of your browser. Go figure :p
