I want to open a terminal with an instruction in the code.
For example, I want to manage input and output in two different terminal. One for typing instruction and one for the output of this instructions. Is it possible?

You don't need C for that. The PIPEs and file descriptors what you need. – 0andriy Jan 12 '17 at 13:31

Since you mentioned gnome-terminal, do you want the output of your program to appear in a window? Do you even need a full-blown terminal? – Ian Abbott Jan 12 '17 at 14:02

It appears you are describing 1) beginning a new process, 2) passing to it a command, 3) retrieving a response, and 4) closing the process. So, What have you tried so far? Can you post your attempt in code? BTW, a routine built around `FILE *pipe = popen(command, "rt")` would accomplish all of this, with the exception of a visible terminal popping up. – ryyker Jan 12 '17 at 14:10

Of course it's possible to make pseudo terminals of type master-slave.
