title: How can output be directed to specific coordinates in the linux terminal?
body: <p>To be more specific, I am looking for an equivalent to the Windows API function: WriteConsoleOutputCharacter.  I know this style of direct output is possible, as I have seen the behaviour used before in the time that I have used Linux.  However, I am still a baby when it comes to Linux specific C libraries, and have not been able to ascertain any clues as to where I may find such functionality.  Any assistance would be appreciated.</p>
