Read a character from standard input in Go (without pressing Enter)

Question

I want my app to show:

press any key to exit ... 

And to exit when I press any key.

How can I achieve this?

Note: I have googled but all of what I've found needed to press Enter at the end. I want something like Console.ReadKey() in C#.

I am running MS Windows.

This is a minimal working example for those running a UNIX system:

package main  import (     "fmt"     "os"     "os/exec" )  func main() {     // disable input buffering     exec.Command("stty", "-F", "/dev/tty", "cbreak", "min", "1").Run()     // do not display entered characters on the screen     exec.Command("stty", "-F", "/dev/tty", "-echo").Run()      var b []byte = make([]byte, 1)     for {         os.Stdin.Read(b)         fmt.Println("I got the byte", b, "("+string(b)+")")     } }
