EOF is also used to indicate error(s) in a stream.

Its value is platform dependent. As per the C++ standard[0]:

  It is a macro definition of type int that expands into
  a negative integral constant expression (generally, -1).

please do not use cplusplus.com, use cppreference instead. cplusplus.com often is wrong, out of date, or just missing things.

None of the above for this case, but generally not a good idea to look there. Instead: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/io
