Wher is End Of File

[lrr at siemens.UUCP]

The i-node for the file gives the file's size.  When you try to read more
than the difference between where you are in the file and the file's size,
the system gives you the minimum and tells you how much it gave you.  A read
with a return of zero (assuming none of the other new flags are set) is
interpreted as EOF by standard I/O.
