Return Value

_kbhit returns a nonzero value if a key has been pressed. Otherwise, it returns 0.

Remarks

The _kbhit function checks the console for a recent keystroke. If the function returns a nonzero value, a keystroke is waiting in the buffer. The program can then call _getch or _getche to get the keystroke.

Example

/* KBHIT.C: This program loops until the user * presses a key. If _kbhit returns nonzero, a * keystroke is waiting in the buffer. The program * can call _getch or _getche to get the keystroke. */#include <conio.h>#include <stdio.h>void main( void ){   /* Display message until key is pressed. */   while( !_kbhit() )      _cputs( "Hit me!! " );   /* Use _getch to throw key away. */   printf( "\nKey struck was '%c'\n", _getch() );   _getch();}

Output

Hit me!! Hit me!! Hit me!! Hit me!! Hit me!! Hit me!! Hit me!!Key struck was 'q'
