lost good subfunction, "getch" in stdio.h

[shawnpd]

I worked in C++ a year ago, and made frequent use of a "getch" function. This function was, I believe, defined in the iomanip or stdio (most likely latter) header files. It took a single charactor or keystroke from the input buffer WITHOUT WAITING FOR A RETURN. I found it indespensable to producing simple interfaces and single keystroke menus. Now that I am teaching myself again, does anyone know where this command is and the rough syntax? Any alternative direct methods of connection to input would be welcomed. Unfortunately all the sources I find are obsessed with object orientation so much they leave interface totally out.

In Solaris 2.5.1,<br>

getch() is in curses.h .<br>

You might want to check the specific type of UNIX you are<br>
using just to make sure it's in the same place.<br>

Hope this helps!<br>
