fgets和处理CTRL + D输入

我正在抓取用户的一些标准输入,如果用户按 CTRL + D ,我想显示错误并终止程序。我想也许我的问题可能与被困在一个while循环中有关;

int readInput(){
   char buff[10];
   int count = 0;
   int counter;
   printf("Enter random number: ");
   fgets(buff, 10, stdin);
   if ((int) strtol(buff, NULL, 10) == 0){
      printf("Error reading number. \n");
      return 0;   //This will get hit if the user presses CTRL+D at this input.
   }
   counter = atol(buff);
   while (count < counter){ 
      printf("Enter a label: ");
      fgets(buff, 10, stdin);
      if ((int) strtol(buff, NULL, 10) == 0){
         printf("Error reading label");
         return 0;  //This will not get hit if the user presses CTRL+D at this input, but why?
         //I've also tried assigning a variable to 0, breaking out of the loop using break; and returning the variable at the end of the function but that also does not work.

      //the rest of the while loop continues even if user hit CTRL+D
      printf("Enter Value: " );
      fgets(buff, 10, stdin);
      //..rest of while loop just gets other inputs like above
      count++;
   }

//termination happens in main, if readInput returns a 0 we call RETURN EXIT_FAILURE;

我不明白为什么在第一次输入时如果用户按下 CTRL + D ,程序会做出相应的响应,但第二次完全忽略它。

在Linux上, Ctrl + D 生成EOF,因此您需要每次都检查fgets()的返回值。遇到EOF时,fgets()返回空指针

if (fgets(buff, 10, stdin) == NULL)
    print_error();
