Sorry for my poor English and poor expression. I mean a data channel, for example a pair of fd created by pipe() or a pair of sockets created by socketpair(). producer-consumer model.

Another thread send a input request and then be blocked on a lock(for example, keybord lock, one lock per thread). The main thread(or keybord sheduler thread) then can wake up one thread and give keybord to it.
