i/o multiplexing on terminal

[zubin]

i want to take input at the screen and at the same time flash the
output on to the terminal (coming from some other process)...how do i
go about it?

the interface should look something like this:

::terminal::

command prompt >


__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __
output:
*coming from other process and hence ll have to be handled
continuously

___________________________
end terminal

-the command prompt should be non blocking wrt output

If you want a Unix only solution, look up the curses
(or ncurses) library. It is also available on a few
non-unices.

Then you need to ask in a group like
news:comp.os.linux.development.apps. The C language itself has no
concept of terminals, screens, or processes.
