Formatted input
 
Defined in header <stdio.h>
int feof( FILE *stream );

Checks if the end of the given file stream has been reached.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

stream - the file stream to check

[edit] Return value

nonzero value if the end of the stream has been reached, otherwise 0

[edit] Notes

This function only reports the stream state as reported by the most recent I/O operation, it does not examine the associated data source. For example, if the most recent I/O was a fgetc, which returned the last byte of a file, feof returns zero. The next fgetc fails and changes the stream state to end-of-file. Only then feof returns non-zero.

In typical usage, input stream processing stops on any error; feof and ferror are then used to distinguish between different error conditions.
