How to make a program that runs in its terminal "window"?

Question

linux

How can I write a C program for Linux so that it runs in a terminal in its own screen space (like nano, vi, man) and closes when it finishes and returns to the initial state of the terminal?

Answer 1

just runxterm yourprogram

Answer 2

well, if I understand your question correctly, then run your program as a child process through system ()

#include <stdio.h> 

int main(int argc, char *argv[] )
{
  int i = 0;
  printf("I am the child\n");
  while (--argc)
    printf ("Arg %d %s\n", ++i, *++argv);
  return 0;
}
