Scancodes in Un!x...

[Sorcerer]

I'm looking for a C function that will let me find out the scan-code of any
key pressed.  The reason behind this is so that I can find out if the user
has pressed the delete/backspace key, the tab key or any function key.

Problem is none of the manuals mention a function with that capability...

Could you please mail me the replies if you're not reading this on comp.lang.c
as I don't subscribe to either of the others...

Thanks
