This simple library has been done for my first-year students at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. It adds to the Linux and Mac console the next functionalities:
- Specify foreground and background color for the printed text
- Clear screen
- Specify coordinates in the screen to print to.
- Retrieve console screen size (rows and columns)
- Empty the keyboard buffer
- Set console type echo on/off
- Show/hide console cursor
- Non-blocking read of the standard input (keyboard)
Please have a look to the betterconsole.h in-comments documentation for more documentation about the library.
It includes some utilization examples.
To compile the library as well as the examples:
gcc betterconsole.c examples.c -o examples
