Turbo C conio.h clone for windows and linux

Turbo C like <conio.h> for Lua

This library implements (parts) the of old Turbo C "conio.h" See header file for suported functions.

To avoid name conflicts a prefix "c_" was added into the original functions.

Original documentation:

Windows 10

Obs: Windows 10 suports console virtual terminal sequences

Lua wrapper (luarocks)

This fork provides a API for Lua scripts and can be installed with "luarocks".

Download the mod from GitHub, extract the file from the ZIP archive.

Change your directory to conio-master and install the Lua library with:

luarocks make

For Linux like systems, use:
