simulate_ukeypress(3alleg4) Allegro manual simulate_ukeypress(3alleg4)NAME
simulate_ukeypress - Stuffs an unicode key into the keyboard buffer. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
void simulate_ukeypress(int key, int scancode);
DESCRIPTION
Stuffs a key into the keyboard buffer, just as if the user had pressed it. The parameter is in the same format returned by ureadkey().
Example:
/* We ignore the scancode simulation. */
simulate_ukeypress(0x00DF, 0);
if (ureadkey(&scancode) == 0x00DF)
allegro_message("You simulated sharp s
");

ureadkey - Returns the next unicode character from the keyboard buffer. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
int ureadkey(int *scancode);
DESCRIPTION
Returns the next character from the keyboard buffer, in Unicode format. If the buffer is empty, it waits until a key is pressed. You can
see if there are queued keypresses with keypressed(). The return value contains the Unicode value of the key, and if not NULL, the pointer
argument will be set to the scancode. Unlike readkey(), this function is able to return character values greater than 255. Example:
int val, scancode;
...
val = ureadkey(&scancode);
if (val == 0x00F1)
allegro_message("You pressed n with tilde
");
if (val == 0x00DF)
allegro_message("You pressed sharp s
");
You should be able to find Unicode character maps at http://www.unicode.org/. Remember that on DOS you must specify a custom keyboard map
(like those found in `keyboard.dat') usually with the help of a configuration file specifying the language mapping (keyboard variable in
system section of `allegro.cfg'), or you will get the default US keyboard mapping.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
