Example

 
#include <pc.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int key;

int main()
{
  key = getxkey();
  if (key < 0x100)
  {
    putc(key, stdout);
    putc('\r', stdout);
  }
  else
  {
    const unsigned char *str = __get_extended_key_string(key);
    if (str)
      puts(str);
    else
      puts("<unknown>");
  }
  fflush(stdout);
}

 
#include <pc.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dpmi.h>

int main()
{

     and other extended keys (Home, End, etc.). */

  if (is_extended_key)
  {
    str = __get_extended_key_string((int)r.h.ah)
    printf("Key encoding: %s", str);
