reset

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)
