depending, look at stty command. You can set a number of things such "raw"
everything comes through untouched, "-echo" don't even echo it, cbreak
basically gives each cahr as types, and there is also a settable delay
which will give "no input" after a preset time so your program doesn't
hang forever.

stty (1) and it SEE ALSOs.
