help about any_key_pressed

[jtapasai]

Hi!
I am learning ADA with GNAT under Linux and I have a question
I want to know if there is a function or procedure like this one
(used in Alsys compiler under Windows) :
BIOS_KEYBOARD_GET_EXT_KEYB_STATUS(ANYKEY,SCODE,ACODE);
This procedure is used to know if one key has been pressed

I would like to know if there is another way to get the same result in
gnat under linux. I can not use GET because the proccesor waits blocked
until one key is pressed and I am using tasks,so the proccesor has to
execute the other tasks all the time.

Thanks in advance !

Look at the Text_IO package there is 2 functions named Get_Immediate
and Look_Ahead that should do what you want.

These are Ada95 standard functions.

Pascal.
