/*
SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdlib.h>

     char *getpass(const char *prompt);

MT-LEVEL
     Unsafe

DESCRIPTION
     getpass() reads up  to  a  newline  or  EOF  from  the  file
     SYS$INPUT,  after prompting on the standard error output with
     the null-terminated string prompt and disabling echoing.   A
     pointer is returned to a null-terminated string of at most 8
     characters.  If SYS$INPUT cannot be opened, a null pointer is
     returned.

FILES
    SYS$INPUT

NOTES
     The return value points to  static  data  whose  content  is
     overwritten by each call.
