/* keywatch.c 12-29-91 Robert Mashlan, Public Domain *\ DOS compiler portability modifications added by Bob Stout, 1:106/2000.6 This program monitors the keyboard interrupt, and stores the status of each key as to whether it is pressed or released. This is done by capturing interrupt 9, and watching the make/break codes. The status is updated in the keys array, where 1 means that the key is pressed, while 0 means the key is released. The key array is uses the scan code for an index instead of the ascii character. It is simple enough to find the scan code for a key, just run this program and watch the display. The ekeys array will reflect the status of keys found on an AT keyboard. For instance, the left and right alt keys are differentiated, as well as the edit control keys on the numeric keypad and the one not on the numeric keypad. Since this program installs an interrupt handler, it should be terminated normally, such the keyboard handler can be removed. The ^C/^Break exit is captured via signal(), but all possible exits should be trapped. \* */ #include #include #include #include #define BYTE unsigned char #if defined(__TURBOC__) #define _interrupt interrupt #define _far far #define IN_PORT(port) inportb(port) #define IN_PORTW(port) inport(port) #define OUT_PORT(port, val) outportb(port, val) #define OUT_PORTW(port, val) outport(port, val) #else #if defined(__ZTC__) #include #else /* MSC, QC, Watcom */ #define getvect(n) _dos_getvect(n) #define setvect(n,v) _dos_setvect(n,v) #endif #define IN_PORT(port) inp(port) #define IN_PORTW(port) inpw(port) #define OUT_PORT(port, val) outp(port, val) #define OUT_PORTW(port, val) outpw(port, val) #endif volatile char keys[128]; /* array of key states */ volatile char ekeys[128]; /* array of AT key states */ #define KEYPORT 0x60 /* keyboard scan code port */ #define keyport() IN_PORT(KEYPORT) /* macro that returns the scancode of the key that caused */ /* the interrupt */ /* Define: *\ installisr() installation macro, installs newkbisr() in the keyboard interrupt chain removeisr() removal macro, call to remove newkbisr() from interrupt chain. oldkbisr() must be removed before program ends \* */ #ifdef __ZTC__ #define installisr() int_intercept(0x09, newkbisr, 0) #define removeisr() int_restore(0x09); #else #define installisr() (oldkbisr=getvect(0x09),setvect(0x09,newkbisr)) #define removeisr() setvect(0x09,oldkbisr) #ifdef __TURBOC__ void _interrupt (_far *oldkbisr)(void); /* address of old ISR */ #else void (_interrupt _far *oldkbisr)(void); /* address of old ISR */ #endif #endif #ifdef __ZTC__ int newkbisr(struct INT_DATA *pd) #elif defined(__TURBOC__) void _interrupt newkbisr(void) #else void _interrupt _far newkbisr(void) #endif { static extkey; BYTE scancode = (BYTE)keyport(); /* read keyboard scan code */ if (scancode == 0xe0) extkey = 1; /* use ekey array on next scan code */ else { if (scancode & 0x80) /* key released */ (extkey ? ekeys : keys)[scancode & 0x7f] = 0; else (extkey ? ekeys : keys)[scancode] = 1; extkey = 0; } #ifdef __ZTC__ return 0; /* chain to previous keyboard ISR */ #else oldkbisr(); /* chain to previous keyboard ISR */ #endif } int keyspressed(void) /* returns number of keys being held down */ { int i, result = 0; for (i = 0; i < 128; i++) { result += keys[i]; result += ekeys[i]; } return result; } int main(void) { int lastkeycount = 0; signal(SIGINT,SIG_IGN); /* ingnore ^C and ^Break */ installisr(); /* install interrupt handler */ while(1) { int i; if (keyspressed() != lastkeycount) /* change in keystatus */ { lastkeycount = keyspressed(); puts("---"); for(i = 0; i < 128; i++) { if (keys[i]) printf("key with scan code %02x " "has been pressed\n", i); if (ekeys[i]) printf("key with scan codes e0 %02x " "had been pressed\n", i); } } if (kbhit() && getch()==0x1b) /* terminate when Esc pressed */ break; } removeisr(); /* remove interrupt handler */ return 0; }
