    Ctrl+d

    Hello, guys!

    I have a question for you, how could I implement a catch of CTRL+D? I have a program, which reads strings untill is pressed CTRL+D, and I don't wanna have ^D in a console . After I press CTRL+D I have to press ENTER, and only after that my program stops . Have any ideas?

    Keep reading until the EOF condition is reached.

    My program works, and I use EOF, but the problem is, that I have to catch a signal, not char, smth like CTRL+Z in Windows.

    Aye, but the signal triggers EOF.

    Ctrl-D should have an effect immediately if it is the first character on a line. If there are other characters before it on the line, you need to hit enter before the program will see it.

    Beyond that, if you want greater control over how Ctrl-D is handled, you need to reprogram the terminal device using calls like ioctl() and tcsetattr().

    (None of it has anything to do with signals).
    Code:
    //try
    //{
    	if (a) do { f( b); } while(1);
    	else   do { f(!b); } while(1);
    //}
