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;
}

I've had this problem/question come up in an assignment that I'm currently working on. It also depends on which input you are grabbing from. I am using

/dev/tty

to get input while the program is running, so that needs to be the filestream associated with the command.

On the ubuntu machine I have to test/target, it required more than just

system( "stty -raw" );

or

system( "stty -icanon" );

I had to add the --file flag, as well as path to the command, like so:

system( "/bin/stty --file=/dev/tty -icanon" );

Everything is copacetic now.
