Hi, Everyone who can help me,<br />
<br />
I need to detect the &nbsp;status of keyboard. In fact, what I want to know is: how to record the time duration of pressing a key. Getche or getch will accept keyboard input, but as soon as a key is pressed, the function will return a value. I need to realize some functions like DOS keyboard interrupt which can tell me when a key is pressed, when it is released, etc. My working platform is SUN workstation, Solaris 2.5.1 <br />

Thanks, <br />

How to detect status of keyboard (solaris)

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
