A simple multi-threaded terminal simulator written in C.
Since this ncurses and POSIX threads were used, additional arguments should be entered when compiling the code. Please refer to the example below.
cc terminal.c -lpthread -lncurses
To run the program, just open the binary executable produced in terminal.
If you are going to compile this on Windows, you may have to install Windows Subsystem for Linux from the Microsoft Store.
