22.1.2 Console I/O
- kbhit()
-
Return true if a keypress is waiting to be read.
- getch()
-
Read a keypress and return the resulting character. Nothing is
echoed to the console. This call will block if a keypress is not
already available, but will not wait for Enter to be pressed.
If the pressed key was a special function key, this will return
'\000' or '\xe0'; the next call will return the
keycode. The Control-C keypress cannot be read with this
function.
- getche()
-
Similar to getch(), but the keypress will be echoed if it
represents a printable character.
- putch(char)
-
Print the character char to the console without buffering.
- ungetch(char)
-
Cause the character char to be ``pushed back'' into the
console buffer; it will be the next character read by
getch() or getche().
