Re: "Console" input to a GTK+ program

you might also want to use readline. heres an example,

#include <stdio.h>
#include <readline.h>
#include <history.h>
#include <curses.h>

/*
gcc -o readlineex readlineex.c -I/usr/include/readline -lreadline -lcurses
*/

int main()
{
  char* prompt="here> ";
  char* line;

  while (1) {
    line = readline(prompt);
    printf("%s\n",line);
    free(line);
  }

  return 0;
}
