The @code{ENDFILE} rule is executed even for empty input files. Normally, when an error occurs when reading input in the normal -input-processing loop, the error is fatal. However, if an @code{BEGINFILE} +input-processing loop, the error is fatal. However, if a @code{BEGINFILE} rule is present, the error becomes non-fatal, and instead @code{ERRNO} is set. This makes it possible to catch and process I/O errors at the level of the @command{awk} program. |
