\fBtermkey_new\fP() creates a new termkey instance connected to the file handle opened by \fIfd\fP using the \fIflags\fP. The \fITermKey\fP structure should be considered opaque; its contents are not intended for use outside of the library. If \fIfd\fP is given the value -1, then no file handle will be associated.
\fBtermkey_destroy\fP() destroys the given instance and releases any resources controlled by it. It will not close the underlying filehandle given as the \fIfd\fP argument to \fBtermkey_new\fP().
A termkey instance contains a buffer of bytes representing keypresses yet to be returned to the application. This buffer may be fed bytes directly by calling \fBtermkey_push_bytes\fP(3), or by calling \fBtermkey_advisereadable\fP(3) which itself will \fBread\fP(3) them from the filehandle given by \fIfd\fP. Once in the buffer, these bytes can be returned as key press events by calling \fBtermkey_getkey\fP(3). The read and get operations are combined in a single function \fBtermkey_waitkey\fP(3), which may be more convenient to use in the standard case of blocking reads from the \fIstdin\fP filehandle.
Disable the \fBSIGINT\fP behaviour of \fICtrl-C\fP. If this flag is provided, then \fICtrl-C\fP will be available as a normal keypress, rather than sending the process group a \fBSIGINT\fP. This flag only takes effect without \fBTERMKEY_FLAG_NOTERMIOS\fP; with it, none of the signal keys are disabled anyway.
Without this flag, IO operations are retried when interrupted by a signal (\fBEINTR\fP). With this flag the \fBTERMKEY_RES_ERROR\fP result is returned instead.
When the constructor is invoked, it attempts to detect if the current locale is UTF-8 aware or not, and sets either the \fBTERMKEY_FLAG_UTF8\fP or \fBTERMKEY_FLAG_RAW\fP flag. One of these two bits will always be in effect. The current flags in effect can be obtained by \fBtermkey_get_flags\fP(3).
Before calling any functions in the \fItermkey\fP library, an application should use the \fBTERMKEY_CHECK_VERSION\fP macro to check that the loaded version of the library is compatible with the version it was compiled against. This should be done early on, ideally just after entering its \fBmain()\fP function.
If successful, \fBtermkey_new\fP() returns a pointer to the new instance. On failure, \fBNULL\fP is returned. \fBtermkey_destroy\fP() returns no value.
