I think you need an unbuffered stream. In C/stdio, there is a function
setbuf().

setbuf (stdin, NULL); /* makes stdin unbuffered */

By default, stdin attached to a terminal is line buffered (and attached
to a file, is block buffered).

If this is not what you want, then you probably will have to go the
termios.h way.
