There's no trick to using conio.h - it's very easy.

#include <stdio.h>

struct foo
{
int h;
};

int main(void)
{
foo conio = { 42 };
printf("conio.h = %d\n", conio.h);
return 0;
}

....but not so easy that I can't get it wrong. See correction below.

I have no idea what this means.

conio.h is not a Standard C header; if you are asking something about a
header called conio.h which you didnt write, you need to ask in a
newsgroup which discusses whatever environment it belongs to.

What's special about it is that it's only available in Borland
environments. If you are trying to build some program that depends on
Borland stuff, but under some other compiler, you will probably need to
rewrite some terminal handling stuff. Or maybe you can find a library
that emulates whatever Borland stuff does. You'll get nothing on
comp.lang.c, except an invitation to take your nonstandard environment
elsewhere.

If you're on a linux/gcc environment, try this:

What?

Don't use conio.h -- it's not portable.

There is nothing called conio.h in C. If your implementation provides
something with that name, it will provide the documentation you need.
Don't expect your implementation' s (non-standard) conio.h to be the same
as some other implementation' s (non-standard) conio.h. Do not even
expect the functions or other identifiers present in your conio.h to
have a reserved meaning or even calling sequence. There are name
conflicts between, for example, several functions with prototypes often
found in conio.h but also present in the various implementations of the
(perhaps more common but still non-standard) curses family.

Please try not to use baby-talk in posting. It really is not that
painful to type "to", "what", and "is"(?) instead of the silly "2",
"what", and "s". The "the" before special seems to have no meaning, and
capitalization rule in English require "Hi" at the beginning of a
sentence and "I" for the first person nominative pronoun.

conio.h is a file used mainly in windows implementations .
Microsoft, Borland, and other compilers implement functions like
cputs (console put string) or kbhit (return when a key is pressed)
and other system specific functions.

If your compiler system doesn't provide it you can:
1) change the compiler to one that provides this header
2) Rewrite the functions in terms of your new implementation

Note that many people in this group find it fun to laugh
about newcomer's questions. Please do not generalize, and just
ignore those posts. They are done by people that are unable
to remember when they were learning C.

What's special about it is that it's only available in Borland
environments

[OT] Where did you get that notion?

It's available in many environments, and most of them are slightly
different from all the others.

I didn't think the OP deserved a more accurate answer.
I should have said "typically" . Anyway, it's usually a DOS-ish
thing, and it's pretty much going to be a real pain for anyone with
this level of question, to work around.
