User input and output doesn't work in my assembly code

Viewed 1287

The following program compiles without errors, but when run it doesn't prompt for any input and nothing prints. What's the problem, and how can I fix it?

I use these commands to assemble and link:

/usr/local/bin/nasm -f macho32 $1
ld -macosx_version_min 10.9.0 -lSystem -o run $filename.o -e _start -lc

My code is:

section .data
    ;New line string
    NEWLINE: db 0xa, 0xd
    LENGTH: equ $-NEWLINE

section .bss    
INPT: resd 1

section .text   
global _start
_start:


;Read character
mov eax, 0x3
mov ebx, 0x1
mov ecx, INPT
mov edx, 0x1
int 80h

;print character
mov eax, 0x4
mov ebx, 0x1
mov ecx, INPT
mov edx, 0x1
int 80h

;Print new line after the output 
mov eax, 0x4
mov ebx, 0x1
mov ecx, NEWLINE
mov edx, LENGTH
int 0x80

;Terminate
mov eax, 0x1
xor ebx, ebx
int 0x80
