How to use <conio.h> functions on Linux?

Question

I've been using Atom [text editor] on Linux Mint to type and compile .cpp files. It looks great and worked like a charm until now, as I've just come across <conio.h>, <math.h>, <ctype.h> and <string.h> functions.

I know there are alternatives like <cmath> and <stdio.h> but some functions still won't work. E.g. 'strlen()' and 'getche()'.

What do you experts suggest I do? Should I switch to an IDE like CodeBlocks?

Answer 1

conio.h - aren't using in Unix. it's part compilator in ms-dos for ms-dos. in Windows thats use for terminals.

Answer 2

Libraries work. But the functions I mentioned don't.

Answer 3

<***.h> is old libs from C. Maybe use in c++ libs for c++?

Answer 4

libs no dependet from text editor, I' m using gvim +gcc in Debian and use <iostream>, <string> and etc

Answer 5

in unix after compilation you have execution file. that start in unix cli

Answer 6

ex.: $gcc foo.cpp -o foo $./foo
