Eoc
Checks whether a TCP connection has been closed by the peer.
result = Eoc( filenum )
Returns true (-1) if the connection has ended, zero (0) otherwise.
Eoc means "end of connection". It is intended for TCP file numbers, where EOF only says that no byte is immediately available to read. A TCP program can poll Eof to decide whether a read is ready and Eoc to decide whether the remote endpoint has closed the socket.
Calling Eoc on a non-TCP file number is an illegal function call.
