CLEAR(1)CLEAR(1)NAMEclear - clear the terminal screen
SYNOPSISclear [term]
DESCRIPTION
The clear utility clears the terminal screen if this is possible. It
looks in the environment for the terminal type, if this is not already
specified by the term operand, and then looks up the terminfo database
to figure out how to clear the screen.
OPERANDS
term
Indicates the type of terminal. Normally, this operand is
unnecessary because the default is taken from the environment
variable TERM.
