C in the MSDOS environment contains a header file conio.h that provides all the functions necessary to manipulate the console display, i.e., clrscr(). Other functions for positioning the cursor, changing background and text colors etc. Is there a header file available for the Linux platform? Which one is it and what are the function names?

its been a while since i last coded c under unix. the conio.h lib is not available in unix/linux systems. try other similar libs such as curses, ncurses and termcap.

hope this helps.
