reset — reset the terminal
reset
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.
