Quote:Original post by fatnickc The nearest thing to _kbhit() in my conio.h is int _conio_kbhit(); . However, I can't use that because that is the only thing said about it. There is nothing where the actual function is written out. In conio_mingw.h, however, _conio.h is, everything aprt from the actual function being written!
out of interest what is the recommended ansi function? how would i do this in linux (unistd seems to have some stuff but i didn't look much).
No idea. Still need help on finding that _kbhit() function - the bit where we are shown what it actually does. Dev-C++ will obviously kick up a fight if it isn't there, and it does.

There isn't any. C and C++ don't have any inherent notion of a "console," which is why their I/O routines are implemented in terms of streams and file descriptors. Consoles are platform-specific; your best bet is to use a portable console library like some curses variant.
