       vga_getkey - read a character from the keyboard without waiting

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

DESCRIPTION

       Read  a  character  from the keyboard without waiting; returns zero if no key pressed and the ASCII value
       otherwise.  This  function  must  not  be  used  in  raw   keyboard   mode.   In   this   situation   use
       keyboard_getstate(3) or keyboard_keypressed(3) instead.
