NAME
reset - reset the terminal
SYNOPSIS
clear
DESCRIPTION
reset calls tput(1) with the clear,rmacs,rmm,rmul,rs1,rs2,
and rs3 arguments. This causes tput to send appropriate
reset strings to the terminal based on information in
/etc/termcap (for the GNU or BSD tput) or in the terminfo
database (for the ncurses tput). This sequence seems to
be sufficient to reset the Linux VC's when they start
printing "funny-looking" characters. For good measure,
stty(1) is called with the sane argument in an attempt to
get cooked mode back.
SEE ALSO
reset(1), stty(1), tput(1)
