getpass()                Read a Password
 
 #include   <conio.h>
 
 char       *getpass(prompt);
 char       *prompt;                     Prompt for password
 
    getpass() writes 'prompt' to the console and then reads a password
    from the keyboard.  The keys pressed are not echoed to the console.
 
    Returns:    A pointer to the password, a null-terminated string of up
                to eight characters, is returned.  The password is stored
                in a static string which is overwritten with each call to
                getpass().
