Could someone tell me how you check for an end of file?

Reading routines at scheme level generally return the eof-object when
hitting the end of file. This can be tested for by eof-object?, like:

(let ((in (open-input-file "test.txt")))
  (let loop
      ((result (read-line in)))
    (cond
     ((eof-object? result)
      (close-input-port in))
     (else
      (display result)
      (newline)
      (loop (read-line in))))))

Best regards
Roland
