EOF is a system (compiler / library) dependent constant.  Since int is at
least 16 bit, reading one byte from a file and returning an int gives the
reading-functions the possibility to return more information than only the
data read.  EOF is a constant that is distinguishable from any possible
byte being read, and thus you should not worry about it's actual value.
If you really want to discover it, just consult stdio.h OR try
- ---<snip>---
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
  printf("EOF == %04x",EOF);
  return 0;
}
