Clear screen in C and C++ on UNIX-based system?

Question

I want to know: how to clean screen on an UNIX-based system? I searched on the Internet, but I\'ve just found how to do it on Windows: system(\"CLS\") I don\'t want exactly

Answer 1

Maybe you can make use of escape codes

#include 

#define clear() printf("\033[H\033[J")

int main(void)
{
    clear();
    return 0;
}

But keep in mind that this method is not compatible with all terminals
