Is conio.h available on Mac OS X?
Hello guys, just wanted to know if conio header file is available for Mac. I have to make a program that is cross-platform and I need to make sure that conio will not ruin that.
Greetings,
unfortunately, the conio header file is not available on Mac OS X. I did read couple of threads here and there wherein people stated that they "downloaded" the conio "library" but having problems linking it to xCode. I find this utterly absurd as conio is a header file and not a library, it is not something you download and link it to a compiler. But hey, I may be wrong. As far as I know, conio.h is not available on the OS X platform or even Linux. Linux users use curses instead.
Hope this was informative,
Good day.

What exactly are you looking for with the conio.h library, MultiMedia? I am used to writing generic code, I may be able to help you achieve the results you are looking for.

Hello again Uk Marine! You're always answering my threads and for that I am really grateful haha
After doing some research, it seems like conio.h is not available on xCode as you said.
How would I go about writing a clear-screen function without using system("cls")? I looked at previous article somebody linked me to it but that didn't help me, the cursor wasn't on the upper-left :/

You will be able to get the cursor to position (1,1) if you play around with the spacing. It really depends on what kind of code you have.
