getch() in linux?

["Anand D Sankruthi" <anandd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
can anyone tell me a function in linux which works similar to getch() in
dos, i.e., it should take in one character at a time, without waiting for a
ENTER. i found one in <curses.h>, but am not able to figure out how to use
it??
