| getchar | Function (Macro)

stdio.h

#define getchar fgetchar

Gets a character from the keyboard (with echoing to the screen).

fgetchar returns the character read from the keyboard. It is similar to ngetchx except getchar shows a cursor (a simple underscore), echoes the character read on the screen and supports the CHAR menu. '\r' character (i.e. ENTER key) will be echoed as a "new line".
Note: In ANSI C, `getchar(c)` is equal to `getc(c, stdin)`, so it can be redirected using freopen. This is not possible here, because stdin is not implemented as a file stream.
