[FIXED] How can I signal EOF to close stdin under the Git Bash terminal on Windows? Ctrl-D didn't work

Issue

I'm writing a command line tool. One of the things this tool can do (certainly not uniquely) is read it's input from stdin. I was testing this interactively (by typing input, rather than cat'ing a file in) when I noticed that I have no clue how to signal EOF to it.

I have spent an inordinate amount of time tonight Googling this and found nothing helpful. I searched SO, as well. Please feel free to point me to a duplicate question, but I did my due diligence, I promise.

EDIT: It might be helpful (?) to mention that I'm doing this on Windows. So I believe the terminal is more or less a branded MinGW?

Solution

If you're trying to send EOF to a program's input under Windows, Ctrl-Z is what you're looking for.
