Here's a program which demonstrates one way of doing things:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <termio.h>

main()
{
        int     a,c;
        char    ch[BUF];
        struct termio o,t;

	if (ioctl(0, TCGETA, &o))
		perror("ioctl: get");

        t = o;
        t.c_lflag = 0;		/* shut off everything */
        t.c_cc[VEOF] = 1;	/* MIN chars == 1 */

        if (ioctl(0, TCSETA, &t))
                perror("ioctl: set");

        for (a = 0; a < BUF; a++) {
                c = getc(stdin);
                ch[a] = (char) c;
                printf(".");
        }

	ch[BUF] = '\0';	/* NULL terminate it */

        printf("\n%s\n", ch);

        if (ioctl(0, TCSETA, &o))
                perror("ioctl: set back");
}
