Sorry for being so lazy, but can someone send me a C routine for
the USG System V termio equivalent of the old Rand empty(fd) call.
The empty(fd) call took a file descriptor argument, usually a tty, and returned
1 if there were no characters in the queue to read (would block if read(fd)
were issued) and 0 if there were bytes to read. It also worked on pipes, but
I don't care about that feature at this point. I have the 4BSD equivalent,
which just uses ioctl(FIONREAD) to return how many characters are in the
queue. So what is the System V equivalent ? Thanks.
Please email responses.
Cheers,
