Detecting keyboard event (input) for non X application

What about using poll() with timeout and then read() to get the keyboard
data?

Within an infinite loop, how to know if there is a keyboard input ?
Is there something similar to XNextEvent for non X application ?

getchar do not work since it stop and wait for the next keyboard event.
What I need is a function that I can call periodically to know if there
is a keyboard input.
