    EOFError

    Raised by some IO operations when reaching the end of file. Many IO methods exist in two forms,

    one that returns nil when the end of file is reached, the other raises EOFError.

    EOFError is a subclass of IOError.

    file = File.open("/etc/hosts")
    file.read
    file.gets     #=> nil
    file.readline #=> EOFError: end of file reached
