Hi, dear C gurus, I have a question about a general C program, or
a Gnu-C one.  What kind of system call can I make in my C program
such that the while loop can keep running until I hit something
on the keyboard(except Ctr-chars!) ?

I am using a Sparc station, and I read something about asyn. read,
that is, read returns right away if there is not data in stdin?
Am I mistaken or how should I do it or what is the standard way to
do it??

ANy help in greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Daniel
