How can I read a single character from the keyboard without waiting for the RETURN key?

How can I stop characters from being echoed on the screen as they're typed?

`man termios` describes all the functionality you desire

there is also some examples:

otherwise i imagine googling on the topic including termios keywords should yield quick results

I find this website very helpful for configuring the serial ports, describing the termios structures, etc.
