Hi Antonio,

For very simple output, you can use \r.

For anything non-trivial, you should consider using ncurses.

Even though some folks think it is a can of worms -- and I can sympathize
with that opinion.

If you need anything beyond non-trivial, you'll end up recreating a good
chunk of the ncurses functionality.  Why re-invent that particular very
painful wheel?
