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

It is usually not a matter of just clearing the screen, but of making a terminal aware application.

You should use the ncurses library and read the NCURSES programming HowTo

^{(You could perhaps use some ANSI escape codes as David RF answered, but I don't think it is a good idea)}
