BTW I was slightly inaccurate: it doesn't *require* a library to do this, you just need to disable buffering. But the getc function itself doing that is dependent on some library implementation.

On Windows for example you need to call this function and turn off line input:

On Unix it is this family of functions:

But regardless my library does this for you, so does ncurses, and a few others out there.
