getchar function

+
+
+

+getchar is used to read data from the keyboard ( +stdin). Effectivly +it is a fgetc(stdin).

+The problem with this function is that the characters are buffered until +RETURN is hit! This means that getchar does not see the characters +until the user presses return. The non standard function getche +gets around this problem and sees each character as it is pressed. +I have not been able to produce the same function on Linux. +The nearest I can get is by using 'curses' but it keeps clearing the screen! + +

+Library:   stdio.h
+
+Prototype: int getchar(void);
+
+Syntax:    ch = getchar();
+
+
+ + + +example program. +
