gcc and process.h

[xddxogm3]

I'm trying to pause the program, before it clears the screen.
The gcc compiler does not like this.

for(x=0;x<1000000;x++)
      ;
system("cls")

how do you get gcc to recognize the process.h header?
below is my error
project1B.c:9:21: process.h: No such file or directory

Please post your code as to how you are includint the header.

It should be:

#include <process.h>

you might be doing something else maybe?

here is my other post on my broke program.

my code is attached
I did include <process.h>, but it didn't auto load the header.
I know the math header needs to be loaded with a switch like
gcc -lm somefile.c
I'm just wondering with the library switch (if any) is used for the process.h

Because system() is in stdlib.h, not process.h

system("cls")

is this a dos specific command?
what do we use in linux?

[chrismiceli]

It is dos specific, in linux, the command is system("clear");

[xddxogm3]

it works now.
thanks.
i tried the system clear in my program earlier, but it didn't work.
i guess since i tried it last i fixed something.
hehehehehe

[edit1]
why does the system("clear"); only move the screen up so many lines, but doesn't actually clear it?

According to the clear man pages

DESCRIPTION
clear clears your screen if this is possible. It looks in the environ-
ment for the terminal type and then in the terminfo database to figure
out how to clear the screen.

I guess if it can clear it the real way it would, but if not, just put a few blank lines on the screen
