50/* Emacs can read input using SIGIO and buffering characters itself,
51 or using CBREAK mode and making C-g cause SIGINT.
52 The choice is controlled by the variable interrupt_input.

54 Define INTERRUPT_INPUT to make interrupt_input = 1 the default (use SIGIO)
55
32de6484
JB
56 Emacs uses the presence or absence of the SIGIO macro to indicate
57 whether or not signal-driven I/O is possible. It uses
58 INTERRUPT_INPUT to decide whether to use it by default.
59
20c428fd 60 SIGIO can be used only on systems that implement it (4.2 and 4.3).
eb8c3be9 61 CBREAK mode has two disadvantages
20c428fd
JB
62 1) At least in 4.2, it is impossible to handle the Meta key properly.
63 I hear that in system V this problem does not exist.
64 2) Control-G causes output to be discarded.
65 I do not know whether this can be fixed in system V.
66
67 Another method of doing input is planned but not implemented.
68 It would have Emacs fork off a separate process
69 to read the input and send it to the true Emacs process
32de6484 70 through a pipe. */
