Neither need you know them.

LaTeX has  \clearpage  and \cleardoublepage .
One of these should suffice to achieve a blank page at the end
of a section or chapter.

If you are using a {book} document-class, then these occur
automatically between chapters and appendices.
However, you need to specify it yourself at the very end,
if that is what you want.


(Of course these commands ultimately place  \vfill\eject ,
after having worked out the need for an appropriate number
of them --- one or two. )
