Need Non-Blocking Terminal Input Function For Berkeley 4.2

[der Mouse]

I missed the original, but what's wrong with using the non-blocking mode
already provided by the kernel?

int on = 1;
ioctl(fd,FIONBIO,&on);

then if you read() and there are no data available, the read will return
with  either  EOF or  error  (return value  <=  0)  and  errno  will  be
EWOULDBLOCK.
