libwiikeyboard

libwiikeyboard is included as part of libogc as an interface to an attached USB keyboard.

Usage

Include -lwiikeyboard in your Makefile.

Initialize the keyboard subsystem:

KEYBOARD_Init(NULL);

Process an event:

keyboard_event ke;
s32 res = KEYBOARD_GetEvent(&ke);
if (res && (ke.type == KEYBOARD_RELEASED || ke.type == KEYBOARD_PRESSED))
{
	// do something
}

Alternate usage - using stdin
