Oh, please, give me a break. Why not check these things out before
shooting from the hip?
From rl_getc:
result = read (fileno (stream), &c, sizeof (unsigned char));
if (result == sizeof (unsigned char))
return (c);
/* If zero characters are returned, then the file that we are
reading from is empty! Return EOF in that case. */
if (result == 0)
return (EOF);
... and so on ...
