kbhit & delay

[mlara]

Hello. I have a problem with a little c program. I don't know how do a 'delay'. Also I don't know what function could be equal or similar to kbhit(). You remerber that the libraries conio.h & dos.h it's not available in Linux.

Thanks, for your help.

You could use

getch()

from

curses.h

Ok, thanks you, but I would want know a function that was compatible with Win32 (2000 Server).

Thanks you.

if you use sleep(<value>); you will free up the processor until the time expires. If you dont know the delay and want the user to have interaction to stop the delay then use getch.

How I can combine sleep() & getch()?

 

[Kenrae]

Why do you want to combine them?
If you want a delay in seconds, use

sleep()

.
If you want a delay until user interaction, use

getch()

.
Both of them free up the processor.
