subsititue of getchar and clrscr() in c for linux

Question

I am working on Ubuntu these days. When I compiled my C program using gcc, it is giving the error conio.h doesn't exists. I want to use clrscr() and getch() function. Can you please tell me the substitute of this header file in linux.

Answer 1

The getch() function can be found in curses.h (library "curses"). The same library offers functions to clear the screen. Check out these links:
