console_getline() Sample Application
|

####################################

Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to use :cpp:func:`console_getline()` function.
|
|
Similar to the well-known ANSI C gets() and fgets() functions,
|
|
:cpp:func:`console_getline()` either returns the next available input
|
|
line or blocks waiting for one. Using this function, it should be fairly
|
|
easy to port existing ANSI C, POSIX, or Linux applications which process
|
|
console input line by line. The sample also allows to see details of how
|
|
a line is returned by the function.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in character by character console input, see
|
|
:ref:`console_getchar_sample`.

Requirements
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
UART console is required to run this simple.
|

Building and Running
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to run this sample is using QEMU:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/subsys/console/getline
|
|
:host-os: unix
|
|
:board: qemu_x86
|
|
:goals: run
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
Now start pressing keys on a keyboard, followed by Enter. The input line
|
|
will be printed back, with a hex code of the last character, to show that
|
|
line does not include any special "end of line" characters (like LF, CR,
|
|
etc.)
|
|
Exit QEMU by pressing :kbd:`CTRL+A` :kbd:`x`.
