Replacement of kbhit() in Unix

[lnical]

What is the replacement for kbhit() in Unix? I've read the Unix Programming FAQ and it says that the solution involves select() or poll(). Reading the man pages for select() and poll(), I'm still at a loss.

What is the line of code that would replace kbhit()?

Thanks,

Perhaps you could describe what kbhit() does, I'm not certian...
