getch() for non-windows systems?

Is there a reason you can't just read in a char?

Code: Select all

char c;
std::cin >> c;

That's C++, im looking for C..
and i want it to be multi-platform.

getchar() reads a single character from stdin. However, what you may want to do is something like this:

Code: Select all

while(getchar() != '\n');

so that you know you're pausing, then continuing with a cleared buffer.

I don't know of any alternative that would work on all systems without #IFDEFs. Try Google.
