Solution 1:
Redesign your java program using JNA with kbhit()/getch() instead of
System.in.available()/System.in.read().
Solution 2:
Add SetConsoleMode() call with ENABLE_LINE_INPUT flag cleared using JNA.
Solution 3:
Use a wrappwer instead of stty such as:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
void *fwd(void *param)
{
FILE *f = (FILE *) param;
char buf[128];
int len;
while (1) {
if ((len = read(0, buf, sizeof(buf))) <= 0) break;
if (write(fileno(f), buf, len) < len) break;
}
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *f;
int i;
pthread_t th;
struct termios t, t_orig;
char cmd[1024] = {0, };
if (argc < 2) return 0;
for (i = 1; i < argc && strlen(cmd)+strlen(argv[i]) < sizeof(cmd)-2; i++) {
sprintf(cmd + strlen(cmd), (i>1)?" %s":"%s", argv[i]);
}
f = popen(cmd, "w");
tcgetattr(0, &t_orig);
t = t_orig;
cfmakeraw(&t);
tcsetattr(0, TCSANOW, &t);
pthread_create(&th, NULL, fwd, f);
wait(NULL);
tcsetattr(0, TCSANOW, &t_orig);
pclose(f);
return 0;
}
