eof()                    Test for End of File


 #include <io.h>

 int        eof(handle);
 int        handle;                      Handle referring to open file

    eof() checks whether end-of-file has been reached for the file
    associated with 'handle'.

    Returns:     1  End of file reached
                 0  Current position is not end of file
                -1  An error occurred.

                On error, 'errno' is set to:

                       EBADF:        a bad file handle.

  -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statements open a file for reading then count the number
    of bytes read until end of file is reached.

         #include <io.h>
         #include <fnctl.h>

         int fhndl, count, totalbytes;
         char buff[1000];

         main()
         {
               fhndl = open("data",O_RONLY);
               totalbytes = 0;
               while (!eof(fhndl)) {
                     count = read(fhndl, buff, 10);
                     totalbytes += count;
                }
           }
