your comment got through to webmaster - thanks for attending to it - ive a 
follow suggest

"all its input" is improper grammar - that should be "all of its input"

also, i would either quote or hyphenate "the end of file string"; because that 
phrase is not merely descriptive - it is a very precise technical term, taken as a whole 
- just IMHO, but i would rather see something like one of these:

the end-of-file string
the "end of file" string
the End Of File string

Thanks or the review.
I pushed this with your suggestions:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/commit/?id=da65ab1e6

I also changed "end of file" to "end-of-file" in other places, and installed
a syntax-check rule to ensure the hyphenated use in future.

Have a nice day,
