Are you looking for a TTY window?

If so does your application need to create the window?

If not then you can simply write your pure C program and execute it from within Terminal - a TTY environment for "pure C".

If you want a double-clickable app you can write an AppleScript which will open Terminal and run your C. Something like:

tell application "Terminal"
   do script "ex /tmp/test; exit"
end tell

This opens a Terminal window showing "ex" and when that quits will terminate the shell process (so no further commands can be typed), but it will not close Terminal itself - for that you will have to work harder.

If you do want you application to create the window itself you either need to write your own simple TTY window, you might find some classes you can use, or you might be able to borrow code from an open source terminal app such as iterm.
