管道演示:如何从C语言的系统调用管道读取键盘按键

理想情况下，它也不会将输入字符回显到屏幕上。我只是想在不影响控制台屏幕的情况下捕捉击键。

要在Linux上做到这一点，您可以使用以下bash命令:

read -sn1 c && printf "You Pressed: %s\n" "$c"

请看我在这里的回答关于这个的详细信息:shell脚本响应按键。

因此，要在Linux上的C或c++中做到这一点，您只需要通过使用popen()和fgets()的管道通过系统调用调用上面的bash命令，这样您就可以从bash命令读取输出。

下面是一个完整的例子，在Linux上运行良好的C和c++:

read_system_call_via_pipe__keypress.c:

#include <stdbool.h> // For `true` (`1`) and `false` (`0`) macros in C
#include <stdint.h>  // For `uint8_t`, `int8_t`, etc.
#include <stdio.h>   // For `printf()`
#include <stdlib.h>

#define BUFSIZE 32

// Read a keyboard key press and return the character pressed, or a negative
// number in the event of an error.
// NB: for help reading output from system calls, see here:
//  1. https://stackoverflow.com/a/28971647/4561887
//  2. https://stackoverflow.com/a/18297075/4561887
char getKeypress()
{
    // This bash cmd is from my answer here:
    // https://stackoverflow.com/a/70979348/4561887
    const char* cmd = "bash -c 'read -s -n1 c && printf \"%s\" \"$c\"'";
    FILE *fp = popen(cmd, "r");
    if (fp == NULL)
    {
        printf("\nError opening pipe!\n");
        return -1;
    }

    char buf[BUFSIZE] = {0};
    char* retval1 = fgets(buf, BUFSIZE, fp);
    if (retval1 == NULL)
    {
        printf("\nFailed to read cmd response.\n");
        return -2;
    }

    // See meaning of this return value here:
    // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43116/how-can-i-run-an-external-program-from-c-and-parse-its-output/28971647#comment60311936_28971647
    int retval2 = pclose(fp);
    if (retval2 == -1)
    {
        printf("\nError obtaining the cmd's exit status code.\n");
        return -3;
    }
    else if (retval2 != 0)
    {
        printf("\nCommand exited with exit status code %i.\n", retval2);
        return -4;
    }

    char keyPressed = buf[0];
    return keyPressed;
}

// int main(int argc, char *argv[])  // alternative prototype
int main()
{
    printf("Press any key to continue: ");
    fflush(stdout);
    char keyPressed = getKeypress();
    if (keyPressed > 0)
    {
        printf("\nKey pressed = %c\n", keyPressed);
    }

    return 0;
}

C和c++编译和运行命令是下面输出的一部分。下面是一些演示:

在C:

eRCaGuy_hello_world/c$ gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -O3 -std=gnu17 read_keypress_system_call.c -o bin/a && bin/a
Press any key to continue:
Key pressed = P

或，在c++中:

eRCaGuy_hello_world/c$ g++ -Wall -Wextra -Werror -O3 -std=c++17 read_keypress_system_call.c -o bin/a && bin/a
Press any key to continue:
Key pressed = u

关于这个话题的3个问题

从标准输入中捕获字符，而不需要等待按enter键 C非阻塞键盘输入 如何避免按Enter与getchar()只为读取单个字符?

这在纯c++中以可移植的方式是不可能的，因为它太依赖于可能与stdin连接的终端(它们通常是行缓冲的)。不过，你可以使用一个库来实现:

conio available with Windows compilers. Use the _getch() function to give you a character without waiting for the Enter key. I'm not a frequent Windows developer, but I've seen my classmates just include <conio.h> and use it. See conio.h at Wikipedia. It lists getch(), which is declared deprecated in Visual C++. curses available for Linux. Compatible curses implementations are available for Windows too. It has also a getch() function. (try man getch to view its manpage). See Curses at Wikipedia.

如果你的目标是跨平台兼容性，我建议你使用curses。也就是说，我相信有一些函数可以用来关闭行缓冲(我相信这被称为“原始模式”，而不是“熟模式”-看看man stty)。如果我没记错的话，诅咒可以方便地帮你解决这个问题。

在Linux(和其他类unix系统)上，这可以通过以下方式完成:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <termios.h>

char getch() {
        char buf = 0;
        struct termios old = {0};
        if (tcgetattr(0, &old) < 0)
                perror("tcsetattr()");
        old.c_lflag &= ~ICANON;
        old.c_lflag &= ~ECHO;
        old.c_cc[VMIN] = 1;
        old.c_cc[VTIME] = 0;
        if (tcsetattr(0, TCSANOW, &old) < 0)
                perror("tcsetattr ICANON");
        if (read(0, &buf, 1) < 0)
                perror ("read()");
        old.c_lflag |= ICANON;
        old.c_lflag |= ECHO;
        if (tcsetattr(0, TCSADRAIN, &old) < 0)
                perror ("tcsetattr ~ICANON");
        return (buf);
}

基本上你必须关闭规范模式(和回声模式来抑制回声)。

如果你在windows上，你可以使用PeekConsoleInput来检测是否有任何输入，

HANDLE handle = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
DWORD events;
INPUT_RECORD buffer;
PeekConsoleInput( handle, &buffer, 1, &events );

然后使用ReadConsoleInput“消费”输入字符..

PeekConsoleInput(handle, &buffer, 1, &events);
if(events > 0)
{
    ReadConsoleInput(handle, &buffer, 1, &events);  
    return buffer.Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualKeyCode;
}
else return 0

老实说，这是从一些旧的代码，我有，所以你必须拨弄它一点。

最酷的是它读取输入时没有任何提示，所以字符根本不会显示出来。

CONIO.H

你需要的函数是:

int getch();
Prototype
    int _getch(void); 
Description
    _getch obtains a character  from stdin. Input is unbuffered, and this
    routine  will  return as  soon as  a character is  available  without 
    waiting for a carriage return. The character is not echoed to stdout.
    _getch bypasses the normal buffering done by getchar and getc. ungetc 
    cannot be used with _getch. 
Synonym
    Function: getch 


int kbhit();
Description
    Checks if a keyboard key has been pressed but not yet read. 
Return Value
    Returns a non-zero value if a key was pressed. Otherwise, returns 0.
