Syntax

LONG Cnecin( VOID )

Function      Cnecin() is exactly the same as Cconin() except that the
              character fetched from the input stream is not echoed.

Opcode        8 (0x08)

Availability  All GEMDOS versions.

Parameters    None.

Binding       move.w   #8,-(sp)
              trap     #1
              addq.l   #2,sp

Return Value  The LONG value returned is a bit array arranged as follows:

              Bits 31-24      Bits 23-16      Bits 15-8       Bits 7-0

              Shift key       Keyboard        Unused          ASCII code
              status          scancode        (0)             of character
              (see below)

              The ASCII code of the character will be 0 if a non-ascii
              keyboard key is struck.

Caveats       When using this function while its handle is redirected, an
              end-of-file condition will hang the system. GEMDOS version
              0.30 and all MiNT versions correct this bug. MiNT returns
              MINT_EOF (0xFF1A) when the end-of-file is reached.

Comments      The shift key status will only be returned when bit 3 of the
              system variable conterm (char *(0x484)) is set. This is
              normally not enabled. If the handle has been redirected, the
              inputted character will appear in the lower 8 bits of the
              return value.
