Maybe my question is odd, or maybe already answered, but i didn't knew another way of searching a solution (the title i selected may get an idea of how weird is it)
Its quite simple, i'm creating an application that has a command prompt, this is, like ms-dos the C:\>_ , for this, my guess is by using a puts and a fgets (for not bufferoverflow my array) like this:
but this snippet throws me this on my console:
SHELL>
_
In the past time, i've been used terminal libraries like the infamous conio.h in turboc, but now i'm using gnu cc, and i don't know how to do this in C.
In C++ i may do this by using cout && cin
sorry if this looks like a dumb question, and thanks for the help!

puts() adds the '\n' to the end of the string. call printf() instead

That is what you get for learning ancient and obsolete version of C compilers. They teach you very bad habits that are sometimes difficult to unlearn.
printf("SHELL>");
