"clear" Command

HOME

clear - clear the terminal screen

root:~# man clear
          

clear clears your screen if this is possible, including its scrollback buffer (if the extended "E3" capability is defined). clear looks in the environment for the ($TERM) terminal type and then in the terminfo database to determine how to clear the screen. clear ignores any command-line parameters that may be present.
