re satoru's post,
While it's not using cbreak, it sorta is an example. The only difference between raw and cbreak is how control keys are delt with.
Quoted from the ncurses_programming_howto:
Normally the terminal driver buffers the characters a user types until a new line or carriage return is encountered. But most programs require that the characters be available as soon as the user types them. The above two functions are used to disable line buffering. The difference between these two functions is in the way control characters like suspend (CTRL-Z), interrupt and quit (CTRL-C) are passed to the program. In the raw() mode these characters are directly passed to the program without generating a signal. In the cbreak() mode these control characters are interpreted as any other character by the terminal driver.
ncurses_cbreak
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.7, PHP 5 < 5.3.0, PECL ncurses >= 1.0.0)
ncurses_cbreak — Désactive la bufferisation d'entrée
Description
ncurses_cbreak
( void
) : bool
Avertissement
Cette fonction est EXPERIMENTALE. Le comportement de cette fonction, son nom, et toute la documentation autour de cette fonction peut changer sans préavis dans une prochaine version de PHP. Cette fonction doit être utilisée à vos risques et périls.
Désactive la bufferisation de ligne, et le traitement des caractères (les interruptions et le flux de caractères de contrôle sont inchangés), rendant les caractères tapés par l'utilisateur directement accessibles au programme.
Valeurs de retour
Retourne TRUE en cas de succès, et
NCURSES_ERR en cas d'erreur.
