conio(3caca)

🌸 NAME 🌸

conio(3caca) — bestie, this is libcaca's DOS conio.h compatibility layer, and she is literally the moment. The page name is conio, the manual is conio(3caca), and the vibe is DOS-style text-mode realness. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so there are two whole sections here: Functions and Variables. Both are iconic, both are staying.

💅 Functions 💅

Here's the function roster, no cap — every signature is exactly what it is, and every one is the DOS equivalent listed:

• __extern char * caca_conio_cgets (char *str) — DOS conio.h cgets() equivalent, and she's serving.

💫 Detailed Description 💫

Basically, these functions implement DOS-like functions for high-level text operations. That's the tea: libcaca is serving DOS-style high-level text ops through this compatibility layer. Literally the whole point. ✨

Okay bestie, that's the whole conio(3caca) page. This iconic manual is from libcaca version 0.99.beta20, dated Wed May 13 2026 09:45:08, and that's the footer realness served cute at the very end. Bye! 💖✨
