How to avoid pressing Enter with getchar() for reading a single character only?

Question

In the next code:

#include 

int main(void) {   
  int c;   
  while ((c=getchar())!= EOF)      
    putchar(c); 
  return 0;
}

Answer 1

I like Lucas answer, but I would like to elaborate it a bit. There is a built-in function in termios.h named cfmakeraw() which man describes as:

cfmakeraw() sets the terminal to something like the "raw" mode of the
old Version 7 terminal driver: input is available character by
character, echoing is disabled, and all special processing of
terminal input and output characters is disabled. [...]

This basically does the same as what Lucas suggested and more, you can see the exact flags it sets in the man pages: termios(3).

Use case

int c = 0;
static struct termios oldTermios, newTermios;

tcgetattr(STDIN_FILENO, &oldTermios);
newTermios = oldTermios;

cfmakeraw(&newTermios);

tcsetattr(STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &newTermios);
c = getchar();
tcsetattr(STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &oldTermios);

switch (c) {
    case 113: // q
        printf("\n\n");
        exit(0);
        break;
    case 105: // i
        printf("insert\n");
        break;
    default:
        break;
