getch() is a nonstandard function and is present in conio.h header file which is mostly used by MS-DOS compilers like Turbo C. It is not part of the C standard library or ISO C, nor is it defined by POSIX (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conio.h) It reads a single character from keyboard. But it does not use any buffer, so the entered character is immediately returned without waiting for the enter key.
