ShowWindow(GetConsoleWindow(), SW_MAXIMIXED); might work but you will have to dll import those functions (this is windows only btw)

even the documentation warns it might not work note BOOL is an int not a bool and HWND is IntPtr

No, bc it depends on the terminal console application doesn't spawn a terminal you can spawn your own and then you will be able to control it but it won't be as much "console" app then console application only has stdout as its output ofc you can hack around and try to find the window which is being used as terminal but what if the user uses tmux? it's a console app spawning other consoles or not using terminal at all? just pipes the output into something
