Get width of the terminal that the app is running in

[samdai01]

Purpose

To ensure a uniform output, the app must have a self-imposed limit of how wide it can be based on the terminal it is in.

Description

Using ioctl, obtain the width of the terminal window in Linux and return it multiplied by a scaling factor of 0.6. If the terminal width is less than 50 characters wide, return the width of the terminal itself. An example of how to get the terminal width in Linux is included below
