It is called a here document - like typing the stuff live into ftp, but the script does the "typing".
The "<<EOF" and "EOF", mark the boundaries of the here doc. << EOF is the start, EOF (in absolutely the first column) marks the end.
"EOF" can be almost anything that is not a variable or a command, old stinkers like me use an exclamation point: !
EOF is sort of a de facto standard for that. You could use FARKLE or AuntMartha
if you wanted to.
