That would make no sense at all. I think the comparison to getch() is the natural one here.

I suppose, from the linux perspective going through curses for this use case, in the same sentence mentioning "debouncing" seems awkward, but it does at least provide a polling api. Honestly I have no idea what they're talking about there.
