     Name
          putch - Writes a character to the console.

     Syntax
          #include <conio.h>

          int putch(c)
          int c;

     Description
          The putch function writes the character c directly to the
          console.

     Return Value
          The function returns c if successful, and EOF if not.

     See Also
          cprintf(DOS), getch(DOS), getche(DOS)

     Example
          #include <conio.h>

          mygetche()
           {
                  /* Get a character with no echo */
                  int ch = getch();

                  /* Send the character to the console */
                  putch(ch);
                  return(ch);
           }

          main()
           {
                  char ch;
                  while (( ch = mygetche()) != '\r');
           }

          This program uses getch and putch to read and echo
          characters until the \r escape sequence is entered. Normally
          the getche function would be used to accomplish this.
