Using ReadConsoleOutput, Win32 provides this function just for this purpose.
You can read a character, a line or even a rectangular region with it. A
related function, GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo can be used to get the size of
the screen or the current position of the cursor. Naturally, there is a
WriteConsoleOutput also to write to the console window.
