Goto :Eof

Exit

Goto :Eof usually use in call command such as:

@echo off
call :Hi
pause&exit
:hi
echo Hello!
goto :eof

I think that it is:

exit /b [exitCode]

Not just because it is more understandeable to use, but also because exit /b (and just exit also) may return an exitCode (ERRORLEVEL) value to the caller program.

In my modest opinion, goto :eof is a strange patch that should not be used...

It is:

goto :eof

This is understandably unusual for somebody accustomed to normal programming languages.

I found this info here.
