How can I hide/show the cursor on a generic text terminal (xterms included), without using the famous 'ncurses' libraries ? And about colors and text scrolling ?
I found an interesting document on internet (unix programmer FAQ v1.31) concerning how to program terminals, tasks, mailing, etc., but it doesn't explain the above questions. It is very strange that there are so many documents about the linux's configuration, but a so very little number about the programming, or not ? Thank you.
