CLEAR(1)

NAME
clear - clear the screen

SYNOPSIS
clear

DESCRIPTION
    Look in the termcap database, find the character to clear the screen, and emit it.

    This is a direct lift from Section 15.7, Ringing the Terminal Bell, from Perl Cookbook, with "cl" substituted for "vb".

TYPIST
Jeffrey S. Haemer

BUGS
clear should probably take an argument, like yes, that will let users send arbitrary termcap sequences, with "cl" as the default.
