Hi friends,
Can anyone please tell me how can I set echoing the characters off while I type them on the keyboard ? e.g; I have to input password in c code but that must not be displayed while typing. I am working in Linux.
Thanks.

Clear the ECHO bit.
You might also consider

but I think that's a deprecated function.
