I'm trying to write a program that accepts an invisible password typed in....

Show all headers | View raw

I tried a google search for 'c program accept password' and there were a number of examples given but they all used conio.h, which xcode couldn't find and hence the build failed.

I also tried the documentation (search for 'c terminal program accept password') in Help in Xcode itself and of course that was, <Flame on>
like all current Mac software documentation (I exaggerate, but willingly)
totally useless - things on the MAC have got to the point of self-immolating
complexity - self-immolating because there is no attempt to ORGANIZE the information in any way that a normal person would even want to attempt to
understand. <Flame off>

Does anyone thru personal experience know of a sample C program for a terminal
application that will accept an invisible or masked password typed in?

This is OS X (10.7) and again intended for a MAC terminal application.

Thanks for any help, and apologies if the flame offended or irritated anyone.

Regards,

Ken Quirici
