.TH RESET 1 "October 1993" "util-linux" "User Commands"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
reset \- reset the terminal
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BR reset
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B reset
|
|
calls
|
|
.BR tput (1)
|
|
with the
|
|
.IR clear ,
|
|
.IR rmacs ,
|
|
.IR rmm ,
|
|
.IR rmul ,
|
|
.IR rs1 ,
|
|
.IR rs2 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.I rs3
|
|
arguments. This causes
|
|
.B tput
|
|
to send appropriate reset strings to the terminal based on information in
|
|
.I /etc/termcap
|
|
(for the GNU or BSD
|
|
.BR tput )
|
|
or in the terminfo database
|
|
(for the
|
|
.B ncurses
|
|
.BR tput ).
|
|
This sequence seems to be sufficient to reset a Linux VC when it
|
|
starts printing "funny-looking" characters. For good measure,
|
|
.BR stty (1)
|
|
is called with the
|
|
.I sane
|
|
argument in an attempt to get cooked mode back.
