Where is conio.h?

[Chacalinc]

I'm doing some C/C++ programming but the header "conio.h" is not in my machine, which package install this library?

I'm using Ubuntu Linux (Debian based), so I just need "apt-get install XXXX", what I'm looking for is the XXXX package.

Cheers.

I googled for "debian conio.h" and landed on this as an example

thanks thedaver, I googled for conio.h (with no "debian", that was my fault I guess) and found lots of examples, but nothig regarding where is it.

Anyway, It have been a long time (may be 10 years?) the last time I coded in C/C++ and yes, I did it in DOS/Windows environment.

Reading the page you pointed me I realise that I'm pissing out of the wc (as we said here).

Thanks a lot!

Well, you can use ncurses or other library to do the things that conio.h allows.
