[LUAU] reading password.

[David & Max]

I have a question about programming in C under Linux.  I'm writing a little
database program that requires a user to login.  But I just don't know what
C function I can use to read a user's password without displaying it on the
screen? (just like the UNIX login process).  I know that under
turbo/Borland C, there is a function called getch() that can do the job,
but what about in gcc?  I don't want to use curses library or something
like that for now.  Is there any standard C function that can do the job?

Please help.
