RESET
NAME
reset - reset the terminal
SYNOPSIS
reset
DESCRIPTION
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.
SEE ALSO
