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.
