reset(1)
NAME
reset − reset the teletype bits to a sensible state
SYNTAX
reset
DESCRIPTION
The reset command sets the terminal to cooked mode, turns off cbreak and raw modes, turns on nl, and restores special characters that are undefined to their default values.
This is most useful after a program dies leaving a terminal in a funny state; you have to type “<LF>reset<LF>” to get it to work then to the shell, as <CR> often doesn’t work; often none of this will echo.
It is a good idea to follow reset with tset(1)
RESTRICTIONS
Doesn’t set tabs properly. It can’t interpret choices for interrupt and line kill characters, so it leaves these set to the local system standards.
