feof()                   Detect Stream End-of-File (Macro)

 #include   <stdio.h>

 int        feof(stream);
 FILE       *stream;                     Pointer to file structure

    feof() is a macro that tests 'stream' for the end-of-file. Once the
    EOF indicator has been set, read operations return an end-of-file
    indicator until rewind() is called or 'stream' is closed.

    Returns:    A non-zero value when the end-of-file has been reached.
                Zero is returned if the current position is not
                end-of-file.  There is no error return.

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

    This example opens a file, prints its contents until end-of-file is
    reached, then closes the file.

         #include <stdio.h>

         FILE *stream;
         int c;

         main()
         {
             if ((stream = fopen("stat.dat","r+")) != NULL) {
                  while(!feof(stream)) {
                      c = getc(stream);
                      printf("%c",c);
                  }
                  fclose(stream);
              }
          }
