Linux syscall to read stdin reads enter several times?

[eino]

Hi I'm using the syscall 3 to read stdin into a buffer in a loop but somehow after pressing enter several reads happen... So does the enter "stick" while the key is pressed? I'm posting on a mobile device so I don't have asm source here but will post it later if needed. Thanks!


Edit:

Here's the code. It's in a function that I call in a for kind of loop.

Code: Select all

segment .bss
input_string:	resb 32

segment .text
mov eax, 3
mov ebx, 0
mov ecx, 32
mov edx, input_string
int 80h

First of all, the buffer goes in ECX, and the amount of bytes to read goes in EDX.

Also, if you want to read from stdin, you put 1 in EBX.
