eof

Synopsis:
$eof(<file descriptor>)

Technical:
This function tests whether the client is currently at the end of the file pointed to by the given file descriptor. The only valid input is a file descriptor returned by the $open( ) function.

Practical:
This function is used to see if the end of a file has been reached. This is mostly useful while reading a file, such that it can be closed once the end is reached.

Returns:
-1 error, no such file descriptor
0 not at end of file
1 end of file reached
