This keeps me puzzled. How then I can tell that file at stdin is already
at EOF? You mean I should treat stdin like normal vnode-backed file?
off_t pos = 0, endpos;
lseek(fileno(stdin), 0, SEEK_END);
endpos = ftell(stdin);
lseek(fileno(stdin), 0, SEEK_SET);
... and then later check it with:
if(endpos != -1) {
pos += kev.data;
if(pos >= endpos) {
printf("end reached\n");
return(0);
}
}
Is this a correct way to detect EOF? I'm letting besides that I should
also detect vnode changes and update max file size accordingly.

Please excuse me, I'm a bit new to this things...
