NAME
clear(1,3x,3x clrtobot) - clear(1,3x,3x clrtobot) terminal screen
SYNOPSIS
clear(1,3x,3x clrtobot)
DESCRIPTION
clear(1,3x,3x clrtobot) calls tput(1) with the clear(1,3x,3x clrtobot) argument. This causes tput to
attempt to clear(1,3x,3x clrtobot) the screen checking the data in(1,8) /etc/termcap (for the
GNU or BSD tput) or in(1,8) the terminfo database (for the ncurses tput) and
sending the appropriate sequence to the terminal. This command can be
redirected to clear(1,3x,3x clrtobot) the screen of some other terminal.
