End-of-file indicator
An end-of-file indicator is a condition, signal, or convention indicating that no more input data is available from a file or stream.
Go in Practice, Second Edition
End-of-file is the condition indicating that no more data can be read from a file or stream.
- How it is used
- Controls termination of sequential file, stream, and multipart parsing loops.
- How deep it goes
- Explains normal io.EOF termination and contrasts it with unexpected EOF, but does not develop reader internals.
- Examples
- Uses sequential file reads, line scanning, JSON-stream processing, and multipart upload iteration.
- What you can do after
- Diagnose normal input exhaustion versus incomplete input while implementing reader and multipart-processing loops.

End-of-file is the condition indicating that no more input is available from a stream.
- How it is used
- Distinguishes normal input exhaustion from input failure while checking C stream operations.
- How deep it goes
- Explains return-value encoding, failed-read timing, feof confirmation, and output-error handling, but not stream internals.
- Examples
- Uses manual fgets logic, character and line input, output checks, and a program that dumps files with fgets.
- What you can do after
- Diagnose stream reads by checking EOF, confirming end-of-file with feof, and reporting other failures separately.
