Linux C: interactive output

Question

I'm developing some kind of mysql monitoring tool so I need interactive output like top command.

Is there any lib that can be used for this?

What do you mean by interactive output? – torak Aug 26 '10 at 15:59 — torak, Aug 26 '10 at 15:59

You may get some good milage out of ncurses http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/

Here is a link to the IO-Top source code. It is software that behaves like top, but displays information related to IO, rather than CPU.

There's also [s-lang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Lang_(programming_library)) as an alternative to ncurses. – Noufal Ibrahim Jul 29 '12 at 14:31

ncurses was already mentioned. Another bash approach is using dialog. See http://linux.die.net/man/1/dialog
