I am trying to figure out how to cause a character to be printed to a
specific place on the terminal

what I'm actually trying to accomplish is to make a progress bar

example:

Progress [*****                           ]  25%

and I want it to fill up the box with stars as my program progresses, but I
can't figure out how to just get c to write a single '*'  to anywhere other
then the end of the streak
I tried lseek and got no good results.

I'd really like any advice anyone has on this.
