In batch processing, `goto :s` means to jump to the line marked with `:s`, and specifically it depends on the commands to be executed next.

goto :eof is slightly different from ordinary jumps.
In goto :eof, the : must be added, while in ordinary jumps, the : sign can be omitted.
goto :eof does not need a label on a certain line, while ordinary jumps must have a label.
For example: Upstairs, a label must be set on a certain line. Such as :s.

What does `goto :eof` mean? If you want to exit, why not just use `exit`?

I don't understand this very much. Can you be more detailed?

Where to come from and where to go. Personal understanding.
For example:
call :XXXXXX
1234
:XXXXXX
XXX
goto :eof
After calling, it directly returns to the place of call :XXXXXX and continues to execute downward. (I haven't used it.. so..)

You're thinking too simply. goto :eof isn't about exiting.
@set c= 不知则觉多,知则觉少,越知越多,便觉越来越少. --- 知多少.
@for,/l,%%i,in,(1,1,55)do,@call,set/p=%%c:~%%i,1%%<nul&ping/n 1 127.1>nul

goto eof is used in batch script writing, and exit is a command directly in the DOS interface...

The above one:
@set c= I don't know then I feel more, I know then I feel less, the more I know the more, then I feel less and less. --- Knowing more and less.
@for,/l,%%i,in,(1,1,55)do,@call,set/p=%%c:~%%i,1%%<nul&ping/n 1 127.1>nul
It's so amazing, can you explain it?

In general batch processing, there is not an obvious difference between goto :eof and exit, but when calling multiple labels, the difference can be seen. As follows:
@echo off
for /l %%i in (1,1,3) do call :%%i
pause
exit
:1
echo 1
pause
goto :eof
:2
echo 2
pause
goto :eof
:3
echo 3
pause
goto :eof
:The last goto :eof can be omitted
