Basically what I'd like to do is have two output terminal windows for a single program. One would be displaying a log of actions being taken by the program, and the second would be displaying something like a table of values. All of the output for these terminals would be generated by the program itself. Is this possible to do in C with stdio?
I realise this is probably something more suited for a GUI or ncurses, but I'm still curious as to whether this can be done regardless.
Edit: Should probably also mention I'm doing this on linux (xubuntu specifically).
Not in any portable way, but on Linux, /dev/pts
is a directory containing all of the open ttys, so writing to a few diferent /dev/pts/<n>
files would put output on multiple terminals.
