/prog/ - fixed console areas in c

Name: Anonymous 2009-02-14 16:12

how do i define a fixed area in the console, sort of like a canvas which is to be updated, modified. i'm looking for an alternative to just printing everything sequentially because that clutters the console history.

#include <unistd.h>

Put that at the top.

for(;;) fork();

Just add that before you print to the console and it will write over what you had previously.

not possible with pure c (i.e. depends on the console in question)

It's platform-specific.
