Synopsis
\endinput
Description
This command terminates the input process in the middle of a file. It is redundant at the end of a file.
On encountering this command, TeX continues reading until the end of the line. This makes it possible to wrap \endinput in an \if oneliner.
Example
\def\false{false}
\def\students{false}
% Questions, for teachers and students ...
\ifx\students\true\endinput\fi
% Answers, for teacher only
If the \if statement cannot be a oneliner (for legibility reasons, say), then one can use \expandafter:
\ifx\students\true
% ... various other statements ...
\expandafter\endinput
\fi
