How to obtain raw character input?

[ray]

When using the read function in the OS package, Go seems to use Linux
cooked mode. I cannot see a flag value to add to os.Open() to request
Linux raw mode. What I want to do is read a character from standard-in
without having to wait for the enter key to be pressed. Has anyone got
a solution (hopefully without writing a lot of C code)?

There's always exec.Run("stty" ....) but it gives me the non-portable
willies.

Actually, it's portable enough for most unix system.
You can see how JLine use it.

Thanks msw and ziyu_huang. I copied the technique from JLine, and
after many silly errors on my part, it now works well.
I have used exec.Run() with argv of: "/bin/stty", "-F", "/dev/tty", "-
icanon", "min", "1"
