In Mac how do I signal end of file (EOF) on the shell

Question

IN windows, I press F6 function key to introduce the CTRL + Z character that signals the end of file.

c:\> copy con filename

copies the command line input to the given filename. At the end, after pressing text, I will enter the F6 key which introduces the CTRL + Z(EOF) character.

1) what is the equivalent command to copy the command line input to a given file ?

2) what key introduces the end of file character in the above command ?

Solution

1. cat > filename
2. you press CTRL + D and that is EOF

note: CTRL+D works only in a new line, after pressing ENTER

also, cat > filename works in windows command shell too

It also works without LF, just press it twice. Same as Linux, really.

@pqnet OP has asked about MAC not PC. ctrl does not even exist on mac. And also this key combination command + d does not work on mac.

@Pikachu mac keyboard has CTRL. It is on the left of alt, which is on the left of command. Press ctrl + D, as I said, not cmd + D because that splits the terminal screen
