NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       clear [term]

11

DESCRIPTION

13       The  clear  utility  clears the terminal screen if this is possible. It
14       looks in the environment for the terminal type, if this is not  already
15       specified  by the term operand, and then looks up the terminfo database
16       to figure out how to clear the screen.
17

OPERANDS

19       term    Indicates the type  of  terminal.  Normally,  this  operand  is
20               unnecessary  because  the default is taken from the environment
21               variable TERM.
