hello all,
	Sorry for a very basic question.I would like to know how to clear the
screen from within a c program without using system("clear") or any of
the ncurses functions.Can we do this using printf?My program is in raw
mode so is there any feature available by which I can use the termios
structure for clearing the screen if it is not possible with printf.Long
ago when I used work in the dos platform I used conio.h and clrscr()
rourine.I guess I have to write that clrscr() routine's code itself.Im
working on a linux machine now.

Thanks in advance.
