Synopsis:
#include <conio.h>
int getch( void );
Description:
The getch function obtains the next available keystroke from the
console. Nothing is echoed on the screen (the function getche will
echo the keystroke, if possible). When no keystroke is available, the
function waits until a key is depressed.
The kbhit function can be used to determine if a keystroke is
available.
Returns:
A value of EOF is returned when an error is detected; otherwise the
getch function returns the value of the keystroke (or character).
When the keystroke represents an extended function key (for example, a
function key, a cursor-movement key or the ALT key with a letter or a
digit), zero is returned and the next call to getch returns a value for
the extended function.
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
int c;
printf( "Press any key\n" );
c = getch();
printf( "You pressed %c(%d)\n", c, c );
}
