I am using a Unix/Solaris 8/9 environment.
I want to make a tool that will constantly read a structure of
information and display that information (or "paint it") to the
screen. Rather than having the information scroll by, I want
a way in which the screen would be "repainted". Sample Screen:
-------------------------------------------------
| foo: 6 bar: 12 |
| this: 18 that: 20 |
|etc. |
-------------------------------------------------
If the values change, I want the screen to be repainted, as opposed
to using "printf" to print it to a screen or logfile.
I am aware that C has the "cursor" libraries, which will do what
I am looking for. Upon first examination, this looked somewhat
complicated. Are there any other modules/libraries that would
accomplish this kind of task (in any other languages) that would
be simple to use?
I am not doing anything with X windows, so this would just be text
to the screen.
