This option supports DOS file systems that use Control-z (\ex1A) as an end of file marker.

For -output, the end-of-file character is output when the channel is closed. +character signals end-of-file when it is encountered during input. If \fIchar\fR is the empty string, then there is no special end of file -character marker.

As a -convenience, when setting the end-of-file character for a read-write -channel you can specify a single value that will apply to reading -only.
