When you need to quote your hereis document (Section 27.16) terminators, there's an annoying problem: sh and csh demand different conventions. If you are using sh, you must not quote the terminator. For example,
+#! /bin/sh cat << 'eof' Hi there. eof
If you are using csh, however, you must quote the terminator. The following script prints three lines, not one:
+#! /bin/csh cat << \eof Hi. You might expect this to be the only line, but it's not. eof 'e'of \eof
