◆ getkey()

int getkey ( unsigned long timeout )

Get single keypress.

Parameters

timeout Timeout period, in ticks (0=indefinite)

Return values

key	Key pressed

The returned key will be an ASCII value or a KEY_XXX special constant. This function differs from getchar() in that getchar() will return "special" keys (e.g. cursor keys) as a series of characters forming an ANSI escape sequence.
