If you want to do it 'right', either use the curses/ncurses library for
text console-intensive programs ('man curses' or 'man ncurses' should get
you introduced to it) or set buffering options to none on stdin (with
setvbuf(stdin,0,_IONBF,0) ) and read from it (possibly with help of the
select() call). With buffering set to none, you don't need to wait for the
line break to get the chars and can emulate getche with a getc/putc pair.
