getpass
=======

Syntax
------

     #include <stdlib.h>
     
     char * getpass(const char *prompt)

Description
-----------

This function reads up to a Newline (CR or LF) or EOF (Ctrl-D or Ctrl-Z)
from the standard input, without an echo, after prompting with a
null-terminated string PROMPT.  It returns the string of at most 8
characters typed by the user.  Pressing Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break will cause
the calling program to `exit(1)'.

Return Value
------------

A pointer to a static buffer which holds the user's response.  The
buffer will be overwritten by each new call.  In case of any error in
the lower I/O routines, a NULL pointer will be returned.

Example
-------

     char *password = getpass("Password: ");
