The command above is broken:
`read` is a `SHELL BUILTIN COMMAND`;
its purpose is to read words from standard input into shell variables
specified on the command line. The command above does not name
any variables.
The "<<" in the command above introduces a `HERE DOCUMENT` redirection:
it allows a script to privide input data. Its syntax is:
              [n]<<[-]word
                      here-document
              delimiter
The "HERE DOCUMENT" redirection reads the script text following
the command until *delimiter* (derived from *word*) is found on
a line by itself.
In your case, the delimiter is not found resulting in "unexpected EOF".
