It's actually beyond the scope of a C compiler. This is in the realm of
system calls.
As was said by others, the curses library is the best way for a Unix app
to manipulate a terminal window. Check out the man pages for ncurses
for an overview. It should point you to other man pages for specific
curses functions. man curs_clear for the curses method of clearning the
screen.
