I am writing a function that inserts some text into a buffer.
At some point the cursor (point?) should go to the end of a line.

For that I found the command "end-of-line". How do I code the execution of this command in a function? I tried it with (command-execute end-of-line) but that resulted in an error message.

Just use (end-of-line).

That is what I had in the beginning . I tried it again and receive the friendly message
"Invalid function (end-of-line)"


Or (end-of-line N), where N is the number of lines to first move forward or
backward.

In Emacs, a command is a function.

A function that has an `interactive' spec is a command. See the Elisp manual,
page `Using Interactive', if you want to make a function interactive (i.e. make
it a command, so you can bind it to a key or invoke it by name using `M-x').
