Hello Continent -

I m looking for example code (bsd derivative .. SunOS perferably) that
reads characters one at a time instead of buffering the chars until a
newline like the read() system call.

I understand that ioctl() can do this by setting the terminal into
raw mode such that no pre-processing of the input takes place.  There's
example code of how to do this on pg. 340 in Bach's book.  But alas,
this is system V code.

Does anyone know of or can give me an example in bsd ?

many thanx!
