What do you mean by control? It just has the file handle, why do 
you cannot call eof() on the file handle struct?

I mean that it's safer to rely on eof() which should return true 
if the stream comes inaccessible, caused by read(2) or whatever 
other OS depended reasons.

...but I was looking in the source and...

yes, byChunk() seems not to care about eof() - but it will just 
truncate the buffer on read failure which should work for your 
case. It basically just calls C's fread().

Are you sure that read(0, "", 1024) trace cones from your ctrl+d? 
It could be also from the runtime checking if the handle can be 
closed or something.

Please note that your terminal could be also the issue.
