Remarks
This function may be used with TCP_LineInput function to detect that an incomplete line was received. Normally, these statements read data until a $CRLF character pair is found, and in that case, TCP_Eof will return 0 (FALSE). However, even if no $CRLF has been found, the statements will end when no additional data is available. In that case, they will return whatever data has already been accumulated, and set EOF to -1 (TRUE).
In many cases, it would be prudent to test TCP_Eof after every TCP_LineInput to verify that a full line has been received. In some cases, you may wish to execute the statement one or more additional times, combining the data, in order to obtain a full line of text.
