In the name of God
Hi everyone,
I used to program in dos with Borland C, and it had kbhit () function which becomes true as soon as a key is pressed. Now I'm tring to find something in Linux to do the same job for me.
Thanks in advance.

I believe that the function name for determining this will depend upon which user interface toolkit you use for your program. If you're doing GUI stuff, you could see what different event-handling functions are available in the toolkit (Qt, Gtk, glut, or whatever), one of which is likely to tell you the status of the keyboard.

If you're doing console programming, I'm not too sure...

Thanks man,
As soon as I post here, I found a previous post about the same problem (see below), so there is no problem right now
