Not unless TIONREAD, despite its name, tells you how many characters are
buffered for output, rather than telling you how many are buffered
for input.

Furthermore, under vanilla S5, neither TIONREAD nor TIOCOUTQ are
defined at all.

Actually, S5 does support time resolution finer than seconds, to some
degree; see TIMES(2).  However, I've seen few game programs using any
finer-resolution time to seed random number generators, so it's
probably sufficient to use the result of "time".
