Synopsis: head(1) returns EXIT_SUCCESS upon EOF State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: arundel State-Changed-When: Wed Feb 23 21:22:24 UTC 2011 State-Changed-Why: I'm afraid your assumption is wrong. The POSIX specs [1] clearly state that "When a file contains less than number lines, it shall be copied to standard output in its entirety. This shall not be an error."
