    switch( ch )  {
      case EOF: 
      case '\n':
      case '\r':
        goto exit_getStr;
        break;

      default:
        printf( "%1c" , ch );
        buffer[ numRead++ ] = ch;
        if( numRead >= maxRead )  {
          goto exit_getStr;
        }
        break;
    }
  }

exit_getStr:
  if( tcsetattr( 0 , TCSADRAIN , &old) < 0)   perror ("tcsetattr reset to old" );
  printf( "\n" );   
  return buffer;
}


int main( void ) 
{
  const int maxChars = 20;
  char      stringBuffer[ maxChars+1 ];
  memset(   stringBuffer , 0 , maxChars+1 ); // initialize to 0

  printf( "enter a string: ");
  getStr( stringBuffer , maxChars );
  printf( "you entered: [%s]\n" , stringBuffer );
}

如果你在windows上，你可以使用PeekConsoleInput来检测是否有任何输入，

HANDLE handle = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
DWORD events;
INPUT_RECORD buffer;
PeekConsoleInput( handle, &buffer, 1, &events );

然后使用ReadConsoleInput“消费”输入字符..

PeekConsoleInput(handle, &buffer, 1, &events);
if(events > 0)
{
    ReadConsoleInput(handle, &buffer, 1, &events);  
    return buffer.Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualKeyCode;
}
else return 0

老实说，这是从一些旧的代码，我有，所以你必须拨弄它一点。

最酷的是它读取输入时没有任何提示，所以字符根本不会显示出来。

我总是想要一个循环读取我的输入而不按返回键。 这对我很管用。

#include<stdio.h>
 main()
 {
   char ch;
    system("stty raw");//seting the terminal in raw mode
    while(1)
     {
     ch=getchar();
      if(ch=='~'){          //terminate or come out of raw mode on "~" pressed
      system("stty cooked");
     //while(1);//you may still run the code 
     exit(0); //or terminate
     }
       printf("you pressed %c\n ",ch);  //write rest code here
      }

    }

最接近可移植的方法是使用ncurses库将终端置于“cbreak模式”。API是巨大的;你最想要的是

Initscr和endwin 黄昏时分和黄昏时分 getch

好运！

CONIO.H

你需要的函数是:

int getch();
Prototype
    int _getch(void); 
Description
    _getch obtains a character  from stdin. Input is unbuffered, and this
    routine  will  return as  soon as  a character is  available  without 
    waiting for a carriage return. The character is not echoed to stdout.
    _getch bypasses the normal buffering done by getchar and getc. ungetc 
    cannot be used with _getch. 
Synonym
    Function: getch 


int kbhit();
Description
    Checks if a keyboard key has been pressed but not yet read. 
Return Value
    Returns a non-zero value if a key was pressed. Otherwise, returns 0.
