There's no such thing. The whole of Linux is based on file descriptors, which could be anything from
- a real terminal
- a pseudo terminal
- a file
- another program.
If you're thinking of DOS, where you could cause things to appear on screen simply by writing some data to say b800:0000, then you're out of luck. There is no equivalent of that in Linux, or any other modern OS for that matter.
Well given say
char *p = "this is a message"; You can have
puts(p);or
while ( *p ) putchar(*p++);or
write(1,p,strlen(p));> Could Some one tell me the addresses of the output window in LINUX

In *nix you can use curses library which allows you to put characters on the screen in random locations. I also did it over 10 years ago using termio but I don't remember how I did it any more.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
What difference does it make how exactly it is done? The C standards do not dictate how its done so each compiler might do it differently. The characters are ultimately sent to the os and let the os display then on whatever terminal(s) happens to be attached to the computer.
If you really think you can read and understand the source code for write then you can get gcc version from www.gnu.org where they will give you free all the source code for their compiler. But be prepared for heavy-duty reading which very vew if anyone will help you.
