getch in Linux?

Hi,

How to make a getch() in Linux? conio.h isn't in the common library, right?

Thanx guys. Linux rules

Correct!

If you want getch() it is in the ncurses library.

If you don't need the curses stuff then you can call getchar(). stdio.h

I also have a question here on getchar().
when execute this instruction, getchar() does not return until you hit "return" key. But getchar() regards "return" as a valid input, so I have to add a verbose getchar() after the first. Am I correct on this? Thank you.
