stty cbreak -echo
look=`dd if=/dev/tty bs=1 count=1 2>/dev/null`
stty $OLD_STTY
But it is not working... (3 Replies)

Hi,
I would like to read an input from keyboard using getchar. However, if no input (No Carriage return/new line none whatsoever) is given after say, 5 seconds, I would like to skip the getchar and move on. How do I do this in C. I'm using GNU compiler set.

Hi,
What happens to process state when getchar() is called? I wrote a C code in which I call getchar() somewhere down the road. I forgot about that, I started the process, put it in bg and disowned it using "disown". Now, how do I see where that process has gone/how do kill it?
Thanks,
