sleep and/or keyboard listen

[ttcoder at netcourrier.com]

Indeed, and I have found that this article helped me to improve my code:

But if you're specifically after keyboard/mouse input, you'll probably want to do it with a 'sigh' instead of with polling: install a sigh (signal handler) for keyboard events, and implement its hook function ; e.g. I have this in my code:



class hog::InputBridger

{

private:  // Code

void handleOneEvent(

const Input::Event & ev

);



Genode::Entrypoint localEp;  // Genode thread dedicated to the sigh

Genode::Signal_handler<InputBridger>

inputHandler;

}



void hog::InputBridger::handleInput()

{

serverInput.for_each_event(

[&] ( Input::Event const & ev )

  ...

... (handle mouse and keyboard events here)

}



ctor:

serverInput.sigh( inputHandler );





Grepping the genode "repos/" folder will yield lots of examples.

You can wait by getting a Timer::Connection and using either the msleep() or usleep() method, depending on whether you have ms or us.

Hello Genodians,

is it possible to have the main thread either sleep for a specific 
amount of time or have it wait for a keyboard input? If yes, how would I 
go about implementing it?

I have read online that the Timer service is in charge of sleeps, but I
