What is the equivalent to getch getche in Linux

Question

I am not able to find the equivalent header file for conio.h in Linux.

Is there any option for getch() & getche() function in Linux?

I want to make a switch case base menu where the user will give his option just by pressing one key & the process should be moved ahead. I don't want to let the user press ENTER after pressing his choice.

Answer 1

#include <termios.h> #include <stdio.h> static struct termios old, current; /* Initialize new terminal i/o settings */ void initTermios(int echo) { tcgetattr(0, &old); /* grab old terminal i/o settings */ current = old; /* make new settings same as old settings */ current.c_lflag &= ~ICANON; /* disable buffered i/o */ if (echo) { current.c_lflag |= ECHO; /* set echo mode */ } else { current.c_lflag &= ~ECHO; /* set no echo mode */ } tcsetattr(0, TCSANOW, &current); /* use these new terminal i/o settings now */ } /* Restore old terminal i/o settings */ void resetTermios(void) { tcsetattr(0, TCSANOW, &old); } /* Read 1 character - echo defines echo mode */ char getch_(int echo) { char ch; initTermios(echo); ch = getchar(); resetTermios(); return ch; } /* Read 1 character without echo */ char getch(void) { return getch_(0); } /* Read 1 character with echo */ char getche(void) { return getch_(1); } /* Let's test it out */ int main(void) { char c; printf("(getche example) please type a letter: "); c = getche(); printf("\nYou typed: %c\n", c); printf("(getch example) please type a letter..."); c = getch(); printf("\nYou typed: %c\n", c); return 0; }

Output:


(getche example) please type a letter: g  You typed: g  (getch example) please type a letter...  You typed: g
