I’d like to write a C program that runs in the background looking for
Keyboad inputs to the shell. Lets say the name of my program is “test” that
has a “getch” in it and I type
#test &
I’d like test to be able to detect keyboard inputs. Is there a way to do
this?
I would appreciate your suggestions.

The shell supplies nothing like this.
What are you trying to accomplish here? Are you trying to do it in a
Photon environment, or a text-mode console?
For text-mode, the console_*() functions might do what you want.
For Photon, getting/handling raw keyboard events might do what you want.
