clear the screen through program on linux

[manoj.bhosale]

Hello Friends,
I am Manoj, just started learning c++ on linux.
In 'C' or 'C++' program on DOS/Windows we use clrscr(); with
#include<conio.h> file included. In linux conio.h file is not exist,
then how this can be done?.

conio.h is a Windows-specific header. See the FAQ: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/input-output.html#faq-15.20

The easiest way to clear the screen (in a terminal session on Linux) is probably to issue the "clear" command (type "man
clear"), which you can invoke from your program by calling:

system("clear");
