Modify play_again3.c so; upon receiving a keyboard signal, it resets the terminal attributes and exits with a value of 2. Code: /* play_again3.c * purpose: ask if user wants another transaction * method: set tty into chr-by-chr, no-echo mode * set tty into no-delay mode * read char, return result * returns: 0=>yes, 1=>no, 2=>timeout * better: reset terminal mode on Interrupt */ #include <stdio.h> #include <termios.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <string.h> #define ASK "Do you want another transaction" #define TRIES 3 /* max tries */ #define SLEEPTIME 2 /* time per try */ #define BEEP putchar('\a') /* alert user */ main() { int response; tty_mode(0); /* save current mode */ set_cr_noecho_mode(); /* set -icanon, -echo */ set_nodelay_mode(); /* noinput => EOF */ response = get_response(ASK, TRIES); /* get some answer */ tty_mode(1); /* restore orig mode */ return response; } get_response( char *question , int maxtries) /* * purpose: ask a question and wait for a y/n answer or maxtries * method: use getchar and complain about non-y/n input * returns: 0=>yes, 1=>no, 2=>timeout */ { int input; printf("%s (y/n)?", question); /* ask */ fflush(stdout); /* force output */ while ( 1 ){ sleep(SLEEPTIME); /* wait a bit */ input = tolower(get_ok_char()); /* get next chr */ if ( input == 'y' ) return 0; if ( input == 'n' ) return 1; if ( maxtries-- == 0 ) /* outatime? */ return 2; /* sayso */ BEEP; } } /* * skip over non-legal chars and return y,Y,n,N or EOF */ get_ok_char() { int c; while( ( c = getchar() ) != EOF && strchr("yYnN",c) == NULL ) ; return c; } set_cr_noecho_mode() /* * purpose: put file descriptor 0 into chr-by-chr mode and noecho mode * method: use bits in termios */ { struct termios ttystate; tcgetattr( 0, &ttystate); /* read curr. setting */ ttystate.c_lflag &= ~ICANON; /* no buffering */ ttystate.c_lflag &= ~ECHO; /* no echo either */ ttystate.c_cc[VMIN] = 1; /* get 1 char at a time */ tcsetattr( 0 , TCSANOW, &ttystate); /* install settings */ } set_nodelay_mode() /* * purpose: put file descriptor 0 into no-delay mode * method: use fcntl to set bits * notes: tcsetattr() will do something similar, but it is complicated */ { int termflags; termflags = fcntl(0, F_GETFL); /* read curr. settings */ termflags |= O_NDELAY; /* flip on nodelay bit */ fcntl(0, F_SETFL, termflags); /* and install 'em */ } /* how == 0 => save current mode, how == 1 => restore mode */ /* this version handles termios and fcntl flags */ tty_mode(int how) { static struct termios original_mode; static int original_flags; if ( how == 0 ){ tcgetattr(0, &original_mode); original_flags = fcntl(0, F_GETFL); } else { tcsetattr(0, TCSANOW, &original_mode); fcntl( 0, F_SETFL, original_flags); } }
Probably because of Code: if ( maxtries-- == 0 ) /* outatime? */ return 2; /* sayso */ it returns when MAXTRIES reaches 0.
