C Question.

[nobby]

Does anyone know how to receive a single char input w/o having having to press Enter afterwards?

I thought it would be something like,

fprintf(stdprn, "whatever the message is");

which would print to the local printer. But I get a msg regarding stdprn, when I get back home I can give complete error msg.

Any inf0 would be great

Thanks

You wouldn't use a print function to get input. To get input, you want to use getc and its cousins (like fgetc, which is better and probably what you are looking for).

Doesn't getc expect an eol character?

Do a forum search on 'termios'. TheLinuxDuck posted once a code sample of how to do this.

Ok I stuffed up the post.. The questions should have been.

1/ Getting a single char from keyboard w/o Enter

2/ Sending info to printer

Sorry about the confusion, and thanks for the replies

I'll have a look for that post Glaurung
