reset(1)reset(1)Namereset - reset terminal mode
SyntaxresetDescription
The command sets the terminal to cooked mode, turns off cbreak and raw
modes, turns on nl, and restores special characters that are undefined
to their default values. The command also clears the LLITOUT bit in
the local mode word.
This is most useful after a program dies leaving a terminal in a funny
state; you have to type ``<LF>reset<LF>'' to get it to work then to the
shell, as <CR> often doesn't work; often none of this will echo.
It is a good idea to follow with
Restrictions
Doesn't set tabs properly. It can't interpret choices for interrupt
and line kill characters, so it leaves these set to the local system
standards.
