What would be the mac equivalent to HANDLE and COORD in c++? - c++

Question

Okay so I am a college student and our professor gave us this code to examine, and I was wondering if there was another way to do this but for OS X. My professor is using a HANDLE which I barely understand what that is, the professor was telling me he create the HANDLE as a pointer to the output stream so what would be the equivalent to it for mac since we don't have #include Windows.h obviously. Everything you see in this code is my professor's, including the comments.
//This is an example of a simple platformer made in the console. This
//makes no claims as the best way of doing things as I created this
//live before a class (while taking suggestions from them).
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <Windows.h>
using namespace std;
const int MAX_ROWS = 20;
const int MAX_COLS = 60;
//this is a reference to cout (we got this when we changed the output color)
//we can use this to setCursorPosition
HANDLE output = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
//this is the place that we can set the cursor to when we are not using it
COORD zero;
//basic cardinal directions
enum Direction
{
UP = 8,
DOWN = 2,
RIGHT = 6,
LEFT = 4,
NORTH = UP,
SOUTH = DOWN,
EAST = RIGHT,
WEST = LEFT
