     NAME
          clear - clear terminal screen

     SYNOPSIS
          clear

     DESCRIPTION
          clear clears your screen if this is possible.  It looks in
          the environment for the terminal type (TERM) and
          capabilities string (TERMCAP).  If TERMCAP is not found in
          the environment, it looks in /etc/termcap to figure out how
          to clear the screen.

               clear
