Question

Is there a way to clear the screen in a terminal window with nasm?

By clear the screen, I mean emulate the Ctrl-L hotkey. Remove all text from the window.

Answer 1

In Bash:

echo -ne "\033[H\033[2J"

In C:

printf("\033[H\033[2J");

How do I find the string:

$ strace -e trace=write clear >/dev/null 
write(1, "\33[H\33[2J", 7)              = 7
