This is not a C *compiler* issue, it's a *library* issue, and gcc
doesn't contain a C library and, even if it did, it probably wouldn't
provide such functionality, since the GNU C Library doesn't. For the
functionality you want, you should probably take a look at libraries
such as termcap or ncurses.

Both are implemented in the GNU C Library and in the Linux kernel.

No, but it will let you call functions in the C library that implement
them.
