  Description:  Buffered Keyboard Input
 
  Reads a string of bytes from the standard input device, up to and
  including an ASCII carriage return (0DH), and places them in a user-
  designated buffer. The characters are echoed to the standard output
  device. Input may be redirected (if input has been redirected, there
  is no way to detect EOF).
