Getting user input without echo to terminal

Is there a function in c or c++ where it is like a scanf or cin but instead of echoing the user input it you just record the keystrokes.

What I want to do is get the user input and put it in a small character array with out the echo.

Thanks for any help guys

Yes, you can. There is no standard input function to do so however. It is OS and compiler dependant. If you use a *nix variety, consider the curses library. Otherwise, you'll have to look up some WinAPI, or perhasp some DOS-ish conio functions. (For example, getch isn't supposed to echo by definition, which is why they have getche.)

Quzah.
