system("pause") for Linux g++ C++ [closed]

In windows when compiling, system("pause") works, what is the equivalent in linux?

1 Answer

The following works on windows and linux/unix:

std::cout << "Press \'Return\' to end." << std::endl;
std::cin.flush();
std::cin.get();

The first std::cin.flush() clears the input que, the next command waits for an input.
