A Here Document is often used to generate output to be passed to a subsequent process.Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:13:00 GMThttps://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/583782/what-is-different-between-eof-and-eof-in-bash-scriptIf you use <<-EOF, I recommend the man page of the Bourne Shell: If, however, the hyphen (-) is appended to <<: leading tabs are stripped from word before the shell input is read (but after parameter and command substitution is done on word); leading tabs are stripped from the shell input as it is read and before each line is compared with word; and shell input is read up to the first line ...Tue, 21 Apr 2026 02:38:00 GMThttps://superuser.com/questions/1003760/what-does-eof-do50 I am a newbie in Linux admin and while I'm learning GDB to debug my code, I need to create an input.txt file for my program to read. I know redirection symbols such as >, >>, and <, but couldn't find info about << via Google since it ignores it. What does the <<EOF do below?Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:11:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/4358728/end-of-file-eof-in-cEOF indicates "end of file". A newline (which is what happens when you press enter) isn't the end of a file, it's the end of a line, so a newline doesn't terminate this loop. The code isn't wrong [*], it just doesn't do what you seem to expect. It reads to the end of the input, but you seem to want to read only to the end of a line. The value of EOF is -1 because it has to be different from ...Mon, 20 Apr 2026 01:07:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/1782080/what-is-eof-in-the-c-programming-languageThe EOF macro doesn't signal anything, since it is just a value. getchar - as defined in the standard library - always returns an integer value and when it returns a value equivalent to EOF (typically -1) indicates that it has reached the end of the file.Wed, 01 Apr 2026 23:19:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/463913/how-would-you-represent-eof-in-bashwhere I want to replace 'EOF' for an actual representation of the end of file character. Edit: Thanks for the answers, that was indeed what I was trying to do. I actually had a facepalm moment when I saw stdin=$(cat) lol Just for kicks though how would you go about matching something like a C-d (or C-v M-v etc), basically just a character combined with Control, Alt, Shift, whatever in bash?Sun, 19 Apr 2026 04:35:00 GMThttps://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/684523/how-does-cat-eof-grep-work-in-bashIn this answer to How does &quot;cat &lt;&lt; EOF&quot; work in bash? on Stack Overflow, I get the first two points.

I did find EOF with google, but google will ignore the "!!" automatically, so I cannot find EOF!!. I know the end of the file token, but I don't exactly know what it means with the "!!" in the script. Is this a mark to force something to do something like in vim's wq! ? Plus, why and when should we use EOF!! instead of EOF?Mon, 20 Apr 2026 19:29:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/4533063/how-does-ifstreams-eof-workThe EOF flag is only set after a read operation attempts to read past the end of the file. get() is returning the symbolic constant traits::eof() (which just happens to equal -1) because it reached the end of the file and could not read any more data, and only at that point will eof() be true.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 08:11:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/15901092/what-does-eof-returnseof () returns true when the position you are at in the stream you are reading from is has reached the end of the file. It actually returns the value of the eof flag that gets set when the end of the file has been read (attempted to read past).
