Look for a program named 'xev' or one named 'showkey' as examples.

Hi!

If you are planning to implement the code in a C program, you can use the CURSES.H library, or the TERMIO.H library

#include < stdio.h >
#include < curses.h >

main()
{
int ch;

initscr();
ch = getch();
endwin();

printf(" %d\n", ch);
}

If you are not familier with CURSES.H library, refer the man pages on the same to learn more of it. The above is the simplest of programs presented.
