RESET(1) User Commands RESET(1)NAME
reset - reset the terminal
SYNOPSIS
reset
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.
