Clear

The previous post assumes you are using Unix. On Windows, you can clear the screen by using the 'cls' command; there is no 'clear' command on Windows. I was able to use the following code to clear the screen (command window) using Borland C 5.5.1 for Win32 on Windows XP. Creating the clear screen. In the VulkanApplication.h file, we will add three new functions, called drawBegin, drawEnd, and cleanup.drawBegin will be called before we pass in any draw commands, and drawEnd will be called once the drawing is done and the frame is ready to be presented to the viewport.

  • I have tried closing Dev C and reopening, running other programs, using compile/run, separate compile and run, opening new programs etc. (even downloaded another copy of Dev). And nothing seems to help. And I would say that this does not happen on every single program. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
  • What is a buffer? A temporary storage area is called buffer. All standard input and output devices contain an input and output buffer. In standard C/C, streams are buffered, for example in the case of standard input, when we press the key on keyboard, it isn’t sent to your program, rather it is buffered by operating system till the time is allotted to that program.
  • When using the above-mentioned methods to clear the screen, you'll notice that the screen (putty) is still scrollable. That is one call still scroll up using a mouse or cursor up key to the previous commands and their output. If you want to clear the screen without a scrollback use the command clear && clear.
