keyboard_keypressed(3)	      Svgalib User Manual	keyboard_keypressed(3)

NAME
       keyboard_keypressed  -  check  if a key is pressed when in raw keyboard
       mode

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<vgakeyboard.h>

       int keyboard_keypressed(int scancode);

DESCRIPTION
       When in raw keyboard mode this routine checks if	the key	with  scancode
       is pressed and returns KEY_PRESSED or KEY_NOTPRESSED accordingly. Actu-
       ally  KEY_PRESSED  is  1	and KEY_NOTPRESSED is 0, s.t. you can use con-
       structs like:

       if(keyboard_keypressed(SCANCODE_ENTER)) {
	    /* do something */
       }

       Please note that	keyboard events	will only be processed when you	 occa-
       sionally	call keyboard_update(3)	or keyboard_waitforupdate(3).

       keyboard_translatekeys(3)  allows  certain  remap operations which make
       certain keys (digits, enter) which might	 have  several	physical  keys
       show up under the same scancodes.

       Here  are  the supported	scancodes. The names of	the #defines originate
       from the	US keyboard layout, for	other countries, they'll refer to  the
       key in the same physical	location, but the keycap will have a different
       inscription. For	the list below,	add SCANCODE_ in front of the names to
       get the right name for your C source. That means, if it lists BACKSLASH
       below,  you  shall use SCANCODE_BACKSLASH as symbol in your program. In
       addition	to the names below we also have	SCANCODE_0 - SCANCODE_9, SCAN-
       CODE_KEYPAD0 - SCANCODE_KEYPAD9,	SCANCODE_A  -  SCANCODE_Z,  and	 SCAN-
       CODE_F1 - SCANCODE_F12.

       The   other  key	 names	are  ESCAPE,  MINUS,  EQUAL,  BACKSPACE,  TAB,
       BRACKET_LEFT, BRACKET_RIGHT, ENTER, LEFTCONTROL,	SEMICOLON, APOSTROPHE,
       GRAVE, LEFTSHIFT, BACKSLASH, COMMA, PERIOD, SLASH, RIGHTSHIFT,  KEYPAD-
       MULTIPLY,  LEFTALT, SPACE, CAPSLOCK, NUMLOCK, SCROLLLOCK, CURSORUPLEFT,
       CURSORUP, CURSORUPRIGHT,	KEYPADMINUS, CURSORLEFT, CURSORRIGHT,  KEYPAD-
       PLUS,  CURSORDOWNLEFT, CURSORDOWN, CURSORDOWNRIGHT, KEYPADPERIOD, LESS,
       KEYPADENTER, RIGHTCONTROL, CONTROL,  KEYPADDIVIDE,  PRINTSCREEN,	 RIGH-
       TALT,  BREAK,  BREAK_ALTERNATIVE,  HOME,	CURSORBLOCKUP, PAGEUP, CURSOR-
       BLOCKLEFT, CURSORBLOCKRIGHT, END,  CURSORBLOCKDOWN,  PAGEDOWN,  INSERT,
