substitute for conio.h in linux
 |
hi
i was compiling a program in linux , the program had conio.h file which is generally used in turbo c in windows. now the program is not compiling and giving errors.
so what is the substitute . as clrscr() cant work without this file.

@Narue: This is ridiculous.
The Op is asking for a way to port a program from one OS to another and you are telling him to throw away a probably perfectly working program
and start to design from scratch.
If you don't have anything meaningful to say about the question you should leave it altogether. This kind of comments are not helpful at all.
We could argue about the usefulness of clearing the screen in a console application. But there sure are reasons to do it.

no, all she says is that clrscr() is in almost all cases it is used used incorrectly and without being needed.
Its SOLE use is to clear the screen in console applications. BUT, console applications should NOT clear the screen, they should instead assume that the screen is not in any way under their control!
There are NO reasons for a console application to clear the screen. If you need total control of the screen you should not be writing a console application in the first place.

where no such thing as a GUI was available. In such an environment clrscr() was very useful to provide something that gets close to a GUI.
This thread is about porting not about redesign.

Were you using Google Translate to read my post in Danish via Urdu? I suggested removing one line, not throwing away the program and starting over. Try reading for comprehension sometime, it's amazing the things you can learn.
>But there sure are reasons to do it.
Yes, there are. But most of the time when looking at old Turbo C programs, this is how it's used:
Now, until the OP shows us that his use is one of the "valid" ones, I'm going to assume that his use is in the majority of clrscr calls, ie. unnecessary.
>If you don't have anything meaningful to say about the question you should leave it altogether.
All of my posts are meaningful. If you're too narrow-minded to understand what I'm saying, or too stupid to read my posts correctly, that's not my problem.

I'm here to prove you wrong.
You should have said: Only if your program looks like this
throw away the clrscr().
I agree with that.
I have checked some of your posts. It seems whenever someone has a different opinion you reply with an insult.

I did, though without spelling it out for the slow people such as yourself:

Taken out of context (which is something you seem very good at) it probably does seem that way. Pick a post and link to the thread and I'll be happy to explain the lesson/merit of my reply. Provided someone has a reasonable opinion, I'm willing to debate in a civil manner.

Hello,
Narue strikes me as a very experienced programmer, and she also cuts to the chase on program design. I only hope that she dismisses remarks about her character, and uses her volunteer time here to maintain the high level of excellence her experience offers us.
This thread, however, is about the conino.h file, and it's technical uses. It will not turn into a character debate; and if anyone tries, I'll lock and we will all move on. The moderator staff will also torpedo any new threads that deal with character in public.
