Subject: How to determine EOF with sysread?

Hi:

How does one determine the eof when using
sysread. The example below seems to indicate
that using #eof? corrupts the file pointer.

buff_size = File.stat(ARGV[0]).blksize
File.open(ARGV[0]) { |f|
#  until f.eof?  ## this statement corrupts f
    buff = f.sysread(buff_size)
    print buff
#  end
}

Thanks
