 Thanks all for the super suggestions. I only had to change one line for 
getting what I need :

 > 	attrib.c_cc[VMIN] = 0;            /* non-blocking input */
to
 	attrib.c_cc[VMIN] = 1;            /* blocking input */

 If input is taken in non-blocking mode then something like:

  while( read( STDIN_FILENO, &ch, 1 ) != 1 ) ;

  needs to be used. It's also OK. But to use getchar()/cin, using blocking 
mode appeared the most suitable. So I did the change. The chance to control 
the echo and nonecho mode is another beauty. I needed the nonecho and it was 
already in the code. Thanks again from me and my friend Mahbub.
